Left unpublished since the nineteenth century, Usk's modern edition includes glosses, notes, and a contextualizing introduction to assist students of all levels in approaching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 \u003ci\u003eConsolation of Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e. Notable for its idiosyncratic imagery, wide variety of themes, and Christian sentimentality, \u003ci\u003eThe Testament of Love\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating text to be studied in any Middle English classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medieval Institute Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892414169239,"sku":"9781580440011","price":3746.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781580440011.webp?v=1781186881","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/testament-of-love-pb-9781580440011","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
