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 trace institutional histories, examining the textual
and memorial practices of religious institutions across the British
Isles; explore language games that play with meaning in
Anglo-French poetry; examine the interplay of form and matter in
Italian song; position Old Norse sagas in an ecocritical and a
postcolonial framework; consider the impact of papal politics on
Middle English poetry; and read allegorical poetry as a privileged
site for asking fundamental questions about the nature of the mind.
Texts discussed include lives of St Aebbe of Coldingham, with a
focus on the twelfth-century Latin Vita and its afterlives; a range
of Latin and vernacular works associated with institutional houses,
including the Vie de Edmund le rei by Denis Piramus and the
Ecclesiastical History of Orderic Vitalis; both the didactic and
lyrical writings of Walter de Bibbesworth; the trecento Italian
caccia, especially examples by Vincenzo da Rimini and Lorenzo
Masini;Bardar saga, Egils saga, and other Old Norse works that
reveal the traces of encounters with a racial other; John Gower's
Confessio Amantis, in striking juxtaposition with late-medieval
accounts of ecclesiastical crisis; and Alain Chartier's Livre de
l'Esperance. PHILIP KNOX Is University Lecturer in English and
