Publisher's

Paperback
edition
of a book first published in 1999.
This
is the first
full-scale history of medieval English literature for nearly a century.
Thirty-three distinguished contributors offer a collaborative account
of
literature composed or transmitted in England, Wales, Ireland and
Scotland
between the Norman conquest and the death of Henry VIII in 1547. The
volume
has five sections: 'After the Norman Conquest'; 'Writing in the British
Isles'; 'Institutional Productions'; 'After the Black Death' and
'Before
the Reformation'. It provides information on a vast range of literary
texts
and the conditions of their production and reception, which will serve
both specialists and general readers, and also contains a chronology,
full
bibliography and a detailed index. This book offers the most extensive
and vibrant account available of the medieval literatures so
drastically
reconfigured in Tudor England. It will thus prove essential reading for
scholars of the Renaissance as well as medievalists, and for historians
as well as literary specialists. Winner of the Library Association
Wheatley
Medal for Outstanding Index.
