'Turville-Petre has completely and thoughtfully revisited the text of St. Erkenwald--from transcription, to translation, to annotation--producing a welcome new edition of the poem that will serve students and scholars of the poem for years to come.' Dominique Battles, The Medieval Review, September 2025

'Turville-Petre has completely and thoughtfully revisited the text of St. Erkenwald--from transcription, to translation, to annotation--producing a welcome new edition of the poem that will serve students and scholars of the poem for years to come.' Dominique Battles, The Medieval Review, September 2025 ‘Professor Turville-Petre is the doyen of Middle English Studies in Britain; and St Erkenwald is a masterly poem, with a powerful story of a dead man found and brought to salvation. This edition hence deserves serious attention… Medievalists are fortunate to have a first-class edition of St Erkenwald from Thorlac Turville-Petre. It is important for the poem and, further, as an instrument to reveal (or dismiss?) contacts between Chaucer in London and the Gawain Poet’s literary circle in Cheshire.’ Andrew Breeze, Mediaevistik
