The monograph series Oxford Studies in Medieval Literature and
Culture showcases the plurilingual and multicultural quality of
medieval literature and actively seeks to promote research that not
only focuses on the array of subjects medievalists now pursue in
literature, theology, and philosophy, in social, political,
jurisprudential, and intellectual history, the history of art, and
the history of science but also that combines these subjects
productively. It offers innovative studies on topics that may
include, but are not limited to, manuscript and book history;
languages and literatures of the global Middle Ages; race and the
post-colonial; the digital humanities, media and performance;
music; medicine; the history of affect and the emotions; the
literature and practices of devotion; the theory and history of
gender and sexuality, ecocriticism and the environment; theories of
aesthetics; medievalism. The field of medieval francophone literary
culture outside France was for many years a minor and peripheral
sub-field of medieval French literary studies (or, in the case of
Anglo-Norman, of English studies). The past two decades, however,
have seen a major reassessment of the use of French in England, in
the Low Countries, in Italy, and in the eastern Mediterranean, and
this impacts significantly upon the history of literature in French
more generally. This book is the first to look at the question
overall, rather than just at one region. It also takes a more
sustained theorised approach than other studies, drawing
particularly on Derrida and on Actor-Network Theory. It discusses a
wide range of texts, some of which have hitherto been regarded as
marginal to French literary history, and makes the case for this
material being more central to the literary history of French than
was allowed in more traditional approaches focused narrowly on
'France'. Many of the arguments in Medieval French Literary Culture
Abroad are grounded in readings of texts in manuscript (rather than
in modern critical editions), and sustained attention is paid
throughout to manuscripts that were produced or travelled outside
the kingdom of France.
