The Middle English popular romances enjoyed a wide appeal in later
medieval Britain, and even today students of medieval literature
will encounter examples of the genre, such as Sir Orfeo, Sir
Tristrem, and Sir Launfal. This collection of twelve specially
commissioned essays is designed to meet the need for a stimulating
guide to the genre. Each essay introduces one popular romance,
setting it in its literary and historical contexts, and develops an
original interpretation that reveals the possibilities that popular
romances offer for modern literary criticism. A substantial
introduction by the editors discusses the production and
transmission of popular romances in the Middle Ages, and considers
the modern reception of popular romance and the interpretative
challenges offered by new theoretical approaches. Accessible to
advanced students of English, this book is also of interest to
those working in the field of medieval studies, comparative
literature, and popular culture.
