Cutting-edge and fresh new outlooks on medieval literature,
emphasising the vibrancy of the field. 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 the range of European
cultures, capaciously defined. Essays in this volume investigate a
range of writers from late antiquity to the fifteenth century. They
explore encounters between humans and animals in French romance;
reflect on what contemporary sound studies can offer to
Anglo-French poetry; trace how the reception of Trojan history is
influenced by late medieval military practices; attend to the
complex multilingualism of a devotional poetry that tests the
limits of both language and theology; analyse the ways in which
Christ's sexuality upsets religious typology inlate medieval drama;
document the lines of national and European affinities found in
French poetic manuscripts; and argue for why we should study "ugly"
manuscripts of practical instruction not only for what they teach
us but alsofor their insights into medieval literacy. Texts
discussed include romances such as Chretien de Troyes's Yvain and
Beroul's Tristan; the theologian John of Howden's adaptation of the
Philomela legend in his Rossignos; Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde
read alongside siege chronicles of the Hundred Years War; Bruder
Hans's quadrilingual Ave Maria; the York Corpus Christi Plays; the
poetry of Charles d'Orleans; and a group oflate medieval
manuscripts which include herbals, account books, and medical
treatises. KELLIE ROBERTSON is Professor of English and Comparative
