Medieval Literature: The Basics is an engaging introduction to this
fascinating body of literature. The volume breaks down the variety
of genres used in the corpus of medieval literature and makes these
texts accessible to readers. It engages with the familiarities
present in the narratives and connects these ideas with a
contemporary, twenty-first century audience. The volume also
addresses contemporary medievalism to show the presence of medieval
literature in contemporary culture, such as film, television,
games, and novels. From Dante and Chaucer to Christine de Pisan,
this book deals with questions such as: What is medieval
literature? What are some of the key topics and genres of medieval
literature? How did it evolve as technology, such as the printing
press, developed? How has it remained relevant in the twenty-first
century? Medieval Literature: The Basics is an ideal introduction
for students coming to the subject for the first time, while also
acting as a springboard from which deeper interaction with medieval
literature can be developed.
