This collection of essays explores the literary legacy of medieval
England by examining the writers, editors and exemplars of medieval
English texts. In order to better understand the human agency,
creativity and forms of sanctity of medieval England, these essays
investigate both the production of medieval texts and the people
whose hands and minds created, altered and/or published them. The
chapters consider the writings of major authors such as Chaucer,
Gower and Wyclif in relation to texts, authors and ideals less
well-known today, and in light of the translation and interpretive
reproduction of the Bible in Middle English. The essays make some
texts available for the first time in print, and examine the roles
of historical scholars in the construction of medieval English
literature and textual cultures. By doing so, this collection
investigates what it means to recover, study and represent some of
the key medieval English texts that continue to influence us today.
