About this book

"The medieval period was one of extraordinary literary achievement sustained over centuries of great change, anchored by the Norman invasion and its aftermath, the re-emergence of English as the nation's leading literary language in the fourteenth century, and the advent of print in the fifteenth. This Companion maps out the flourishing field of medieval literary studies and points towards new directions and approaches." -- Back Cover
