Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cleanness an Alliterative Tripartite Poem on the Deluge, the Destruction of Sodom, and the Death of Belshazzar The Manuscript. A brief description of the manuscript in which Cleanness is preserved, namely Cotton Nero A.x in the British Museum, will be found in the Preface to Patience in this series. The poem follows immediately on Pearl in that manuscript, and is in the same hand, though here and there occur corrections and retracings of letters in a later hand. I do not think any of the retracings can be definitely differentiated from the handwriting of the corrector.1 There are two illustrations to Cleanness, namely, Noah and his family (in an open boat in lieu of the Ark), and Daniel before Belshazzar; the latter is reproduced in this volume, together with a specimen of the text. Large initial letters of blue, flourished with red, mark the chief divisions of the poem. The Quatrain Arrangement. As was noted in the Preface to Patience, there can be no doubt that the author of these two poems planned his work on the basis of alliterative quatrains, and the manuscript indicates, by a slight mark in the left-hand margin, the beginnings of these stanzaic divisions, though in many cases these marks are now illegible. In the case of Patience, the quatrain arrangement of the printed text, with a break after each group of four lines, for the first time made clear the thought and movement of the poem, and the gain in its right understanding and interpretation must be generally admitted.
