The twenty-eight essays in this Handbook represent the best of
current thinking in the study of Latin language and literature in
the Middle Ages. The insights offered by the collective of authors
not only illuminate the field of medieval Latin literature but shed
new light on broader questions of literary history, cultural
interaction, world literature, and language in history and society.
The contributors to this volume--a collection of both senior
scholars and gifted young thinkers--vividly illustrate the field's
complexities on a wide range of topics through carefully chosen
examples and challenges to settled answers of the past. At the same
time, they suggest future possibilities for the necessarily
provisional and open-ended work essential to the pursuit of
medieval Latin studies. While advanced specialists will find much
here to engage and at times to provoke them, this handbook
successfully orients non-specialists and students to this thriving
field of study. The overall approach of The Oxford Handbook of
Medieval Latin Literature makes this volume an essential resource
for students of the ancient world interested in the prolonged
after-life of the classical period's cultural complexes, for
medieval historians, for scholars of other medieval literary
traditions, and for all those interested in delving more deeply
into the fascinating more-than-millennium that forms the bridge
between the ancient Mediterranean world and what we consider
modernity.
