This is an insight into the rich cultural canvas of the Middle Ages
is granted by a host of texts: liturgical manuals; manuscripts of
epic poetry, vernacular lyric, and music; paintings, and many more.
Adopting a wide range of disciplinary perspectives-literary
studies, liturgical studies, iconography, and musicology - this
collection of essays reveals the two-fold performative nature of
such texts: they document, mediate, or prefigure acts of
performance, while at the same time taking on performative roles
themselves by generating additional layers of meaning. Focussing on
acts, authors, and receptive processes of performance, the authors
demonstrate the significance of the performative to the culture of
the High and Late Middle Ages (c.1000-1500), from chant to Chaucer,
from Scandinavia to Imperial Augsburg.
