The reading is not easy here. This is not your Chaucerian Middle English, but northern poetic works that require heavy use of the glossary. However, once the language barrier is overcome, the poems here are wonderful. They range from delightful, clever little lyrics to sharp social satire to philosophical allegories to reflective narratives. They are the vivid, robust sort of poetry that grabs you and won't let you go until you've give it your full attention.
