An interactive exploration of a medieval romantic poem
One of the earliest poems of the Alliterative Revival, William of Palerne survives in a single defective manuscript, held at Kings College, Cambridge, which was copied not long after the poem was composed. Dated between 1335 and 1361, this courtly romance, rich in fantastic adventure, is an adaptation of the French Guillaume de Palerne, composed circa 1200. Critics have praised the poem's charm, its humanity, its sensitivity and humor, and its sympathetic and lively portrayal of its protagonists.

This electronic edition also allows complex searches and manipulations of the text through use of the underlying SGML-encoding.This project conforms fully to the 1994 Text Encoding Initiative guidelines.
