Groundbreaking surveys of the complex interrelationship between the
languages of English and French in medieval Britain. With
co-editors: CAROLYN COLLETTE, MARYANNE KOWALESKI, LINNE MOONEY, AD
PUTTER, and DAVID TROTTER England was more widely and enduringly
francophone in the Middle Ages than our now standard accounts of
its history, culture and language allow. The French of England
(also known as Anglo-Norman and Anglo-French) is the language of
nearly a thousand literary texts, of much administration, and of
many professions and occupations. English literary, linguistic and
documentary history is deeply interwoven both with a continually
evolving spectrum of Frenches used within and outside the realm,
and cannot be fully grasped in isolation. The essays in this volume
open up andbegin writing a new cultural history focussed on, but
not confined to, the presence and interactions of francophone
speakers, writers, readers, texts and documents in England from the
eleventh to the later fifteenth centuries. They return us to a
newly-alive, multi-vocal, complexly multi-cultural medieval
England, in which the use of French and its interrelations with
English and other languages involve many diverse groups of people.
The volume's size testifies to the significance of England's
francophone culture, while its chronological range shows the need
for revision across the whole span of our existing narratives about
medieval English linguistic and cultural history.. Contributors:

Groundbreaking surveys of the complex interrelationship between the
languages of English and French in medieval Britain. With
co-editors: CAROLYN COLLETTE, MARYANNE KOWALESKI, LINNE MOONEY, AD
PUTTER, and DAVID TROTTER England was more widely and enduringly
francophone in the middle ages than many standard accounts of its
history, culture and language allow. The development of French in
England, whether known as "Anglo-Norman" or "Anglo-French", is
deeply interwoven both with medieval English and with the spectrum
of Frenches, insular and continental, used withinand outside the
realm. As the language of nearly a thousand literary texts, of much
administration, and of many professions and occupations, the French
of England needs more attention than it has so far received. The
essaysin this volume form a new cultural history focussed round,
but not confined to, the presence and interactions of French
speakers, writers, readers, texts and documents in England from the
eleventh to the later fifteenth century.Taking the French of
England into account does not simply add new material to our
existing narratives of medieval English culture, but changes them,
restoring a multi-vocal, multi-cultural medieval England in all its
complexity, and opening up fresh agendas for study and exploration.
