Prose and Verse: Edited from MS Longleat 29 and Related Manuscripts (Early English Text Society/Original Series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The Yorkshireman Richard Rolle (c. 1300-1349) was the first and most immediately influential of the English medieval mystics. His passionate insistence on a personal communion between Creator and created affected the development of pre-Reformation religious thought, and his decision to write in English rekindled in the modern idiom the tradition of vernacular devotional prose. This is the first full critical edition of Rolle's major writings, leaving out only his glossed Psalter. Although the manuscript chosen is not in the original Northern dialect, it is of sufficient authority to restore many readings previously lost or corrupt. Ogilvie-Thomson's introduction expands on H.E. Allen's research and her notes cite much of Rolle's possible source material.

Review
'The student of English mysticism and spirituality will be grateful for the arduous task the editor has undertaken' Wolfgang Riehle, ANGLIA 'an important edition ... Rolle is clearly an important writer and an improved text of his English works is an important publication.' John Frankis, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Review of English Studies, Vol. XLI, No. 164 'Her discussion is throughout lucid, judicious, and well supported, and her arguments are altogether persuasive ... Ogilvie-Thomson's discussion, a model of exact and discriminating analysis, reaches important new conclusions. This is an excelent edition, admirable in its scholarship, and it offers a wealth of important new material.' George Jack, University of St Andrews, English Studies 'the editor has made available all the textual information necessary to test her thesis that her base manuscript is textually superior to Allen's' Alexandra Barratt, Journal of Theological Studies
