Burrow\'s book deals with circumstances of composition and reception, the main genres, \"modes of meaning\" (allegory etc.), and medieval literature\'s afterlife in modern times. It shows that the literature of authors such as Chaucer, Gower, and Langland is more readily accessible than usually imagined, and well worth reading too.
