This Companion spans four full centuries to survey this most formative and turbulent era in the history of literature in English. Exploring the period's key authors - Chaucer, Langland, the Gawain-Poet, Margery Kempe, among many - and genres - plays, romances, poems and epics - the book offers an overview of the riches of medieval writing. The essays map out the flourishing field of medieval literary studies and point towards new directions and approaches. Designed to be accessible to students, the book also features a chronology and guide to further reading. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aEnglish literature$yMiddle English, 1100-1500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCivilization, Medieval, in literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval, in literature. 676 $a820/.9/001 702 $aScanlon$b Larry 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201152003316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to medieval English literature, 1100-1500$92493642 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
