Publisher's Synopsis

This volume presents two of the earliest pieces of Middle Cornish literature. The first, "The Charter Fragment", is concerned with the question of marriage. It is only 41 lines in length and was probably part of a play. The second, "Pascon agan Arluth" 'The Passion of our Lord', is a magnificent poem of 259 stanzas composed c. 1375, which deals with the Passion, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Christ.
