‘This is an innovative, textually grounded inquiry into the connections between Old and Middle English literature.’- M.B. Busbee (Choice Magazine vol 52:11:2015) ‘Yeager’s literary-historical argument is powerful and marches on firmly to the fifteenth-century poems of the Piers Plowmen… It convincingly demonstrates the durability of certain Anglo-Saxon attitudes as they were annealed in the distinction of style.’- Christopher Cannon (Modern Philology, vol 113:03:2016)
