Senshu University has hosted many international conferences on
medieval English literature - primarily on Geoffrey Chaucer and
William Langland - as well as in the related fields of Old
Germanic, medieval French and Renaissance Italian literature. These
international collaborations inform and contribute to the present
volume, which addresses the heritage bequeathed to medieval English
language and literature by the classical world. This volume
explores the development of medieval English literature in light of
contact with Germanic and Old Norse cultures, on the one hand, and
Romance languages, on the other. The book includes a comparative
study of Beowulf in the Germanic context, discusses aspects of
Piers Plowman and its tradition, and offers philological approaches
to Chaucer (especially his Troilus and Criseyde). The articles
assembled here collectively suggest how the torches of classical
learning were carried from continental Europe to illuminate the
pages of medieval English literature.
