商品簡介
Written in Middle English at the end of the 14th century, this graphically violent poem describes the siege and capture of Jerusalem and destruction of the Jewish Temple there by the Romans in 70AD. Marked by virulent anti-Semitism, the poem is notable, Livingston writes in his lengthy (40-page) introduction, as an artifact of the era, in particular for how it reflects attitudes engendered by the Crusades. The poem is annotated and a full bibliography is provided; there is no index. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
