Manning, Robert

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.07 sec.

Manning, Robert (c. 1264–c. 1340)

English poet. He wrote Handlyng Synne, a translation of the Manuel des Pechiez of William of Wadington, and The Chronicle of England, a new version in octosyllabic rhyme of Robert Wace's Brut d'Angleterre, with a translation of the French rhyming chronicle of Peter Langtoft, The Story of Ingeland.

He was born at Brunne, now Bourne, in Lincolnshire. In his use of William of Wadington's manual of sins, Robert was a free adaptor, turning it into a lively and amusing collection of cautionary tales.
