This revisionary account of the 900-year-long history of a major poetic tradition sheds new light on poems from Beowulf to Piers Plowman and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and challenges the idea that the alliterative tradition falls into two halves divided by the Norman Conquest.
1. Beowulf and verse history; 2. Prologues to Old English poetry; 3. Lawman, the last Old English poet and the first Middle English poet; 4. Prologues to Middle English alliterative poetry; 5. The Erkenwald poet's sense of history; 6. The alliterative tradition in the sixteenth century.
