A Companion to Medieval English Literature and Culture,
c.1350-c.1500 challenges readers to think beyond a narrowly
defined canon and conventional disciplinary boundaries.

A ground-breaking collection of newly-commissioned essays on
medieval literature and culture.

* Encourages students to think beyond a narrowly defined canon
and conventional disciplinary boundaries.

* Reflects the erosion of the traditional, rigid boundary between
medieval and early modern literature.

* Stresses the importance of constructing contexts for reading
literature.

* Explores the extent to which medieval literature is in dialogue
with other cultural products, including the literature of other
countries, manuscripts and religion.

* Includes close readings of frequently-studied texts, including
texts by Chaucer, Langland, the Gawain poet, and Hoccleve.

* Confronts some of the controversies that exercise students of
medieval literature, such as those connected with literary theory,
love, and chivalry and war.
