2016-03-27

 中世英文学の主要作品と年表について「#1433. 10世紀以前の古英語テキストの分布」 ([2013-03-30-1]),「#1044. 中英語作品,Chaucer,Shakespeare,聖書の略記一覧」 ([2012-03-06-1]),「#2323 中英語の方言ごとの主要作品」 ([2015-09-06-1]),「#2503. 中英語文学」 ([2016-03-04-1]) で見てきたが,もう少し一覧性の高いものが欲しいと思い,Treharne の中世英文学作品集の pp. xvi--xvii に掲げられている年表を再現することにした.政治史と連動した文学史の年表となっている.
