The medieval period was one of extraordinary literary achievement
sustained over centuries of great change, anchored by the Norman
invasion and its aftermath, the re-emergence of English as the
nation's leading literary language in the fourteenth century and
the advent of print in the fifteenth. This Companion spans four
full centuries to survey this most formative and turbulent era in
the history of literature in English. Exploring the period's key
authors - Chaucer, Langland, the Gawain-Poet, Margery Kempe, among
many - and genres - plays, romances, poems and epics - the book
offers an overview of the riches of medieval writing. The essays
map out the flourishing field of medieval literary studies and
point towards new directions and approaches. Designed to be
accessible to students, the book also features a chronology and
guide to further reading.
