The most important part of the title of this book is the word
'and'. These words form the memorable conclusion to D.H. Green's
study Medieval Listening and Reading; they encapsulate how, in the
Middle Ages, orality and literacy are not to be considered as two
separate and largely unrelated cultures or modes of textual
transmission, but as elements in a mutual interplay and
interpenetration. In this volume, scholars from Britain, Germany
and North America follow Green's insistence on the conjunction of
medieval orality and literacy, and show how this approach can open
up new areas for investigation as well as help to reformulate old
problems. The languages and literatures covered include English,
Latin, French, Occitan and German, and the essays span the whole of
the period from the early Middle Ages through to the fifteenth
century.
