Opis

New Medieval Literatures is an annual containing the best new interdisciplinary work in medieval textual cultures. Volume 3 combines important work by established scholars with the results of the editors' quest for major new voices, including the prize-winning essay in their first competition for younger scholars. The themes of the volume are the production of knowledge and text, cultural change and exchange, from early medieval China to fifteenth-century England. There are also paired and contrasting essays on Dante and on Langland. The volume ends with Sarah Kay's important survey of modern medievalist scholarship, the New Philology.
