Includes bibliographical references and index.
From written record to memory : a brief history of Anglo-Saxon legal-homiletic discourse -- Leges Cnuti, Sermones Lupi : homily, law, and the legacy of Wulfstan -- Ecclesiastical Anglo-Saxonism in thirteenth-century Worcester : The First Worcester Fragment and The Proverbs of Alfred -- La[y]amon's Brut : law, literature, and the chronicle-poem -- Defining the Piers Plowman tradition -- Documents, dreams and the Langlandian legacy in Mum and the Sothsegger.
By comparing Anglo-Saxon charters, sermons, and law codes with Langland's Piers Plowman and similar poems, Yeager demonstrates that this legal and homiletical literature had an influential afterlife in the fourteenth-century poetry of William Langland and his imitators.
