Produktinformationen zu „A Concise Companion to Middle English Literature (PDF)“
This concise companion examines contexts that are essential to
understanding and interpreting writing in English produced in the
period between approximately 1100 and 1500. The essays in the book
explore ways in which Middle English literature is 'different' from
the literature of other periods. The book includes discussion of
such issues as the religious and historical background to Middle
English literature, the circumstances and milieux in which it was
produced, its linguistic features, and the manuscripts in which it
has been preserved. Amongst the great range of writers and writings
discussed, the book considers the works of the most widely read
Middle English author, Chaucer, against the background of the
period that he both typifies and subverts.
* An accessible resource that examines contexts essential to
understanding and interpreting writing of the Middle English
period
* Chapters explore the distinctiveness of Middle English
literature
* Brings together discussion and analysis by an international
team of Middle English specialists, incorporating fresh material
and new insights
* Includes analysis of Chaucer's writings, and considers them in
relation to the work of his Middle English predecessors,
contemporaries and successors
* Incorporates discussion of issues steering the perception of
Middle English literature in the present day

Autoren-Porträt
MARILYN CORRIE teaches in the English Department at University College London. Her research interests include the trilingual literary culture of post-Norman Conquest England; the transmission of continental French literature to England in the thirteenth and early-fourteenth centuries; English and French manuscripts containing literary texts; and the interface between theology and literary writing in the Middle Ages, especially in the fifteenth century. Having published articles and essays relating to each of these subjects, she is currently working on a book about Christian theology, magic and literature in the later Middle Ages.
