Produktbeschreibung
A rare window into the soul of 14th-century England, Dan Michel's Ayenbite of Inwyt offers a stirring meditation on remorse and conscience - written not in the grand tongue of courts, but in the earthy Kentish dialect of everyday folk. This historical religious text, crafted in 1340, stands as a cornerstone of Middle English literature, inviting both the curious reader and the seasoned student of medieval literature to explore the depths of moral introspection and medieval Christian ethics. More than a linguistic curiosity, Ayenbite of Inwyt is a living document of its age - a manuscript that speaks directly to the struggles of ordinary believers, centuries before Chaucer's tales. Its pages echo with the anxieties and hopes of medieval England, making it a vital resource for those fascinated by the evolution of the medieval Kentish dialect and the roots of historical linguistics. For collectors, it is a treasure; for readers, a compelling journey into the conscience of a distant world. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you are drawn by the study of Chaucer's contemporaries, the allure of a medieval manuscript collection, or the enduring questions of conscience and morality, Ayenbite of Inwyt remains an essential piece of England's literary and cultural legacy.
