An invigorating annual for those who are interested in medieval
textual cultures and open to ways in which diverse post-modern
methodologies may be applied to them. Alcuin Blamires, Review of
English Studies New Medieval Literatures is an annual of work on
medieval textual cultures, aiming to engage with intellectual and
cultural pluralism in the Middle Ages and now. Its scope is
inclusive of work across the theoretical, archival, philological,
and historicist methodologies associated with medieval literary
studies, and embraces both the British Isles and Europe. Essays in
this volume engage with real and metaphorical relations between
humans and nonhumans, with particular focus on spiders, hawks, and
demons; discuss some of the earliest Middle English musical and, it
is argued, liturgical compositions; describe the generic
flexibility and literariness of medical discourse;consider
strategies of affective and practical devotion, and their roles in
building a community; and offer an example of the creativity of
fifteenth-century vernacular religious literature. Texts discussed
include the Old English riddles and Alfredian translations of the
psalms; the lives of saints Dunstan, Godric, and Juliana, in Latin
and English; Piers Plowman, in fascinating juxtaposition with Hugh
of Fouilloy's Aviarium; medical remedybooks and uroscopies, many
from unedited manuscripts; and the fifteenth-century English Life
of Job. LAURA ASHE is Professor of English at the University of
Oxford and Fellow and Tutor at Worcester College, Oxford; PHILIP
KNOX is University Lecturer in English and Fellow of Trinity
College, Cambridge; WENDY SCASE is Geoffrey Shepherd Professor of
Medieval English Literature at the University of Birmingham; DAVID

Louis. Contributors: Jenny C. Bledsoe, Heather Blurton, Hannah
