Research into English alliterative verse has seen progress on a number of fronts in recent years, summed up by a trio of Cambridge University Press monographs on the subject by the present author (2016), Ian Cornelius (2017), and Geoffrey Russom (2017).11 Naturally enough, these books focus on the long Old English and Middle English poems that have always been at the center of scholarly inquiry. In my book, I included two appendices listing little-studied short Old English and Early Middle English alliterative poems, but I did not perform the same bibliographical work for fourteenth-, fifteenth-, and sixteenth-century alliterative poetry.22 The present article remedies this lacuna. Although Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Winner and Waster, and William Langland’s Piers Plowman are widely read and taught, and other long poems, such as Mum and the Sothsegger and Scottish Field, are well known to specialists, there exist a number of short and fragmentary alliterative poems from the same period that have garnered far less attention. Many of these had not been noticed, printed, or edited at the time of the initial publication of the last comprehensive checklist of poems in this metre, that of J. P. Oakden (1930; 2nd edn, 1968).33 Cornelius and I discussed the short and fragmentary poems here and there as they became relevant in our arguments. (The Middle English portion of Russom’s book focuses exclusively on Gawain.) The purpose of this checklist is to gather together these poems, twenty-two in all, in order to facilitate further research. This checklist complements Richard H. Osberg’s handlist of short alliterating, rhyming, syllable-counting (‘metrical’) Middle English poems,44 which do not belong to the alliterative tradition according to the consensus metrical typology developed by Cornelius, Russom, and myself, building on work by Thomas Cable and Hoyt N. Duggan.55

简短而零散的英语韵律诗清单,1300-1600年

剑桥大学出版社三部论论的总结归功于英语另类诗歌的研究,这三篇著作由作者(2016年),伊恩·科尼利厄斯(Ian Cornelius)(2017年)和杰弗里·鲁索姆(Geoffrey Russom)(2017年)对此主题进行了总结。 .1 1当然,这些书着重于长期以来一直是学术研究中心的古老英语和中古英语诗歌。在我的书中,我包括两个附录上市的小短研究古英语和早期中古英语诗歌头韵,但我没有为fourteenth-执行相同的书目工作,fifteenth-,和十六世纪的头韵poetry.2 2本文章纠正这一缺陷。虽然高文爵士和绿色骑士赢家和浪费者,威廉·兰兰德(William Langland)的《皮尔斯耕犁者》(Piers Plowman)被广泛阅读和教导,其他长诗,如《妈妈》,《索斯格格》和《苏格兰场》,也是专家们熟知的,同时还存在着许多来自同一时期的简短而零碎的代词诗。少得多的关注。许多这些未曾注意到,打印或编辑在此米诗的最后全面清单的初始公布的时间,即JP Oakden的(1930;第2版,1968)0.3 3哥尼流和我所讨论的随处可见的简短诗歌,因为它们在我们的论点中变得很重要。(Russom的书的中古英语部分专门针对Gawain。)这份清单的目的是将这些诗歌(总共二十二首)收集在一起,以便于进一步的研究。此清单补充了理查德·奥斯伯格(Richard H. Osberg)的简短表扬,押韵,音节计数(“度量”)中古诗手册,4 4根据Cornelius,Russom和我本人发展的共识度量类型学,这不属于替代传统。 ,以Thomas Cable和Hoyt N. Duggan.5的作品为基础。5 5
