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 engage with the relations between humans and nonhumans;
the power of inanimate objects to animate humans and texts;
literary deployments of medical, aesthetic, and economic
discourses; the language of friendship; and the surprising value of
early readers' casual annotations. Texts discussed include Beowulf,
works by Rolle, Chaucer, Langland, Gower, and Lydgate; lyrics of
the Occitan troubadour Marcabru and the French poet Richard de
Fournival; and the Anglo-Saxon versions of Boethius's De
Consolatione Philosophiae and Augustine's Soliloquia. Wendy Scase
is Geoffrey Shepherd Professor of Medieval English Literature at
the University of Birmingham; David Lawton is Professor of English
at Washington University, StLouis; Laura Ashe is Associate
Professor of English at Worcester College, Oxford.
