A father mourning the loss of his young daughter falls into a dream and finds himself in a beautiful and unearthly landscape. There he meets again with his child, who is now transformed into a heavenly queen, and the two begin a dialogue that challenges all he thought he knew. The poem known as Pearl was written by an anonymous author of the medieval period, and its themes of grief and faith remain meaningful centuries later. This edition presents the Middle English text of Pearl alongside a Modern English translation in the intricate poetic form of the original.
