Here is the fascinating mirror of an age that was cruel and charitable, violent and courtly, bawdy and devout. Chronicle, burlesque, ballad, fable, debate, lyric, legend, lore, and drama follow one another in rich variety—"huge cloudy symbols of a high romance." In this comprehensive collection, editor Thomas J. Garbáty makes accessible to students the landmarks of English prose, poetry, and drama for the years 1100 through 1500. For the most part, these vital works are presented complete in Middle English. Students are aided by an extensive system of margin glosses, supplemented by footnotes, a brief linguistic introduction to each work, and an authoritative General Introduction that places every selection within a medieval perspective.

Putting this on my "Reference" shelf rather than my "To Read" shelf, since frankly I'm not sure I'll ever have the balls to attempt to tackle the whole volume. It's been decades since I took that class on English and I'm not sure how much I remember and reading it is going to be a challenge. With the amount of words noted in the glosses and annotations, I'm sure I can handle at least portions of it. I hope.
But look at that gorgeous cover! How could I have left something this interesting and pretty sitting there in the book store? (I apologize for the bad picture. I'll try to scan this in ASAP, cause the amount of detail in it is amazing. If you want to see an in-focus pic, google Bedford Hours)

Also, an anthology I read for Middle English at UNLV. Love it. Arthurian legends are a favorite of mine.
