This invigorating study places medieval romance narrative in
dialogue with theories and practices of gift and exchange, opening
new approaches to questions of storytelling, agency, gender and
materiality in some of the most engaging literature from the Middle
Ages. It argues that the dynamics of the gift are powerfully at
work in romances: through exchanges of objects and people; repeated
patterns of love, loyalty and revenge; promises made or broken; and
the complex effects that time works on such objects, exchanges and
promises. Ranging from the twelfth century to the fifteenth, and
including close discussions of poetry by Chaucer, the Gawain-Poet
and romances in the Auchinleck Manuscript, this book will prompt
new ideas and debate amongst students and scholars of medieval
literature, as well as anyone curious about the pleasures that
romance narratives bring. -- .
