Sinopsis

'The Ayenbite of Inwyt', also known as 'Remorse of Conscience', is a Middle English prose text written in 1340 by Dan Michel of Northgate, Kent. This important work is a translation of the French treatise 'Somme le Roi', a manual for confession written for King Philip III of France in 1279. 'The Ayenbite of Inwyt' is one of the earliest substantial works of prose in English, offering valuable insights into the language, religious thought, and moral concerns of the 14th century. Dan Michel?s translation provides a detailed exploration of virtues and vices, the sacraments, and the articles of faith, offering a comprehensive guide to Christian living and self-examination. Its enduring value lies in its contribution to the development of English prose and its reflection of medieval religious and ethical values.
