This volume builds on recent scholarship on contemporary poetry in
relation to medieval literature, focusing on postmodern poets who
work with the medieval in a variety of ways. Such recent projects
invert or "queer" the usual transactional nature of engagements
with older forms of literature, in which readers are asked to
exchange some small measure of bewilderment at archaic language or
forms for a sense of having experienced a medieval text. The poets
under consideration in this volume demand that readers grapple with
the ways in which we are still "medieval" - in other words, the
ways in which the questions posed by their medieval source material
still reverberate and hold relevance for today's world. They do so
by challenging the primacy of present over past, toppling the
categories of old and new, and suggesting new interpretive
frameworks for contemporary and medieval poetry alike.
