The nineteenth-century antiquarian Thomas Wright (1810-77) was a prolific scholar, editor and bibliographer. His two-volume anthology of twelfth-century Latin poetry, first published in 1872, is the fullest available and this reissue will be especially useful to scholars of medieval schools, religious life and satire, and those interested in medieval literature's relationship with the Latin classics. It remains the only published edition of important poems by Geoffrey of Winchester, Hugh the Chanter, Reginald of Canterbury, Serlo of Bayeux and Gualo Britto. Volume 1 contains Nigel Witeker's two most important satirical works: his beast epic Speculum Stultorum and his Contra Curiales. Also included are John of Salisbury's Entheticus ad Policraticum and John of Hauville's Architrenius, which describes the sorrowful journey of a fictitious mourner through the twelfth-century church, court and schools.
