From England and France to the Low Countries, Wales, Scotland, and
Italy, the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) fundamentally shaped
late-medieval literature. This volume adopts an expansive focus to
reveal the transnational literary consequences of over a century of
international conflict. While traditionally seen as an Anglo-French
conflict, the Hundred Years War was a multilateral conflict with
connections across the continent through alliances and proxy
battles. Writers, whether as witnesses, diplomats, or provocateurs,
played key roles in shaping the conflict, and the conflict equally
impacted the course of literary history. The volume shows how a
wide variety of genres and works are deeply engaged with responses
to the war, from women’s visionary writing by figures like
Catherine of Siena to anonymous lyric poetry, from Christine de
Pizan’s Book of the City of Ladies to Geoffrey Chaucer’s
Canterbury Tales. -- .
