Description
This study of King Horn, the earliest extant Middle
English verse romance that has chanced to survive,
includes a brief survey of the criticism, both
historical and textual, that is available in English.
It is also an attempt to extend the view that King
Horn, aside from its historical value, is a poem in
its own right , an artistic achievement possessing a
shaped structure and unity. Three themes, those of
exile and return, growth to maturity of the hero, and
the restoration of order, are discussed in order to
reveal their importance to the structure and their
contribution to the poem as a whole.
