The book explores the 14th-century Middle English poem Pearl, presenting a multi-layered interpretation that reveals its intended readings across four distinct levels: as an elegy, an allegory, a source of moral consolation, and a revelation. It employs both medieval and contemporary genre theory to deepen the understanding of the poem's complexity and significance, highlighting its rich thematic and structural intricacies.
