Originally published in 1986. The Middle English lyric is intimately related to late medieval preaching, not only because many lyrical poems have been preserved in sermon manuscripts, but also because preaching furnished a unique opportunity to create and utilize poems. 'Preachers, Poets, and the Early English Lyric' explores this relationship in detail.
