{"product_id":"9781580440011","title":"The Testament of Love","description":"Shoaf here presents a hitherto neglected Middle English text for both undergraduate and graduate classrooms: Thomas Usk's The Testament of Love. Left unpublished since the nineteenth century, Usk's modern edition includes glosses, notes, and a contextualizing introduction to assist students of all levels in approaching Usk's Middle English poem. The fourteenth century work describes Love descending to Usk's prison cell, and the two engaging in a long, theological conversation reminiscent of Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy. Notable for its idiosyncratic imagery, wide variety of themes, and Christian sentimentality, The Testament of Love is a fascinating text to be studied in any Middle English classroom.","brand":"Medieval Institute Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055446868208,"sku":"9781580440011","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781580440011_p0.jpg?v=1763792741","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781580440011","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
