The English alliterative tradition

I am very disappointed with Turville-Petre, who I thought would be a great scholar, given how much he seems to know. In this book, though, he simply ignores information (even going so far as to claim that there is no evidence of an oral tradition in England!) to make his point. On top of that, he feels the need to insert his rather high-brow, modern opinion a little too often.
