In this volume, John Metham’s classic romance Amoryus and Cleopes is made available to a wider audience of students and teachers of Middle English with its contextualizing introduction, extensive notes, and helpful gloss. This fifteenth century romance, written by John Metham, creatively reworks Ovid’s tale of Pyramus and Thisbe’s tragic love from his Metamorphoses. Metham draws on a wide variety of popular romances and particularly Chaucer’s Ovidian works to create an inventive romance of his own with a decidedly moral aim. This volume will be of interest to students of Middle English romance and all those interested in the literary legacy of Chaucer.
