The contributors examine the composition, dissemination and reception of historical texts written in Anglo-Norman, Latin and English, including the Prose \u003ci\u003eBrut \u003c\/i\u003e chronicle (c. 1300 and later), \u003ci\u003eCastleford's Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e (c. 1327),and Nicholas Trevet's \u003ci\u003eLes Cronicles\u003c\/i\u003e (c. 1334), looking at questions of the processes of writing, rewriting, printing and editing history. They cross traditional boundaries of subject and period, taking multi-disciplinary approaches to their studies in order to underscore the (shifting) historical, social and political contexts in which medieval English chronicles were used and read from the fourteenth century through to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e As such, the volume honours the pioneering work of the late Professor Lister M. Matheson, whose research in this area demonstrated that a full understanding of medieval historical literature demands attention to both the content of theworks in question and to the material circumstances of producing those works. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  JACLYN RAJSIC is a Lecturer in Medieval Literature in the School of English and Drama at Queen Mary University of London; ERIK KOOPER taughtOld and Middle English at Utrecht University until his retirement in 2007; DOMINIQUE HOCHE Is an Associate Professor at West Liberty University in West Virginia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Contributors: Elizabeth J.
