This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the Medieval English Studies Symposium held in Poznan, Poland in November 2006. The papers cover a wide range of topics in the areas of Old and Middle English language and literature: from language contact and Middle English syntax to pragmatics, and from Chaucer to Middle English religious and secular discourse.

The volume contains three linguistic and four literary papers. The linguistic papers are devoted to Middle English spelling of fricatives, the temporal conjunction before in Medieval English and multiple negation in Late Middle and Early Modern English. The literary papers discuss Medieval East Anglian Drama, the making of language in Malory s Morte Darthur, a comparison of Chaucer s Troilus and Criseyde and Boethius s Consolation of Philosophy, and the analysis of Dame Sirith."
