This volume brings together examinations of pragmatic meaning and
proverbs of the Medieval North. Pragmatic meaning, which relies
upon cultural and interpersonal context to go beyond the simple
semantic and grammatical meaning of an utterance, has a fundamental
connection with proverbs, which also communicate a deeper meaning
than what is actually said. Essays in this volume explore this
connection by examining the language of generosity, conversion,
friendship, debate, dragon proverbs, and saints' lives. These
essays are inspired by the works of Thomas A. Shippey, who has been
a pioneer in the study of wisdom poetry and pragmatics in medieval
literature.
