Essays dealing with the cultural and linguistic diversity of the romance form from 12c-15c in England.
These papers, presented at the first meeting of the society for the Study of Medieval Romance in 1988, exemplify some of the most significant recent trends in literary studies. Notable among these is an interest in women's historyand female points of view. More specifically medieval concerns are codicological study and the present lively debate over editorial issues and principles. Since the essays deal with the romance in England between the 12th and 15th centuries, they illustrate both the cultural and linguistic diversity of the genre and the diversity in possible critical approaches.

LITERARY COLLECTIONS / Ancient & Classical, Ancient, classical and medieval texts
A compelling overview of the question, unobtrusively vindicating a body of writings long dismissed as wrong-headed `popular' imitations of a greater literature... particularly adapted to undergraduate audiences, for whom it will certainly become a regular reference, while scholars will welcome a collection giving its lettres de noblesse to a genre that is both enjoyable to read and profitable to study.
