Editorial Reviews: Review “[T]heatre researchers are likely to find many of the…essays very useful and illuminating because the cultural history they depict has obvious implications for the study of theatre and performance.” Sharon Aronson-Lehavi, City University of New York, Theatre Journal”The Cambridge History of Medieval English Literature provides a formidable set of tools for the critic of medieval literature….The unobtrusive editorial presence that allows chapters with widely diverging approaches is a useful and mature reflection of the accomodation of plurality for an intelligent reading of medieval literature….This is a scholarly and erudite publication.” Times Literary Supplement”The Cambridge History of Medieval English Literature is an excellent and long overdue reassessment, which completes a paradigm shift in the study of English medieval literature. It synthesises and responds to developments in the field over the last twenty years, and forges them into a coherent whole. A pioneering work in the field of medieval studies, it is also a fascinating and highly rewarding reading experience, that should be shared by everyone in the discipline.” Prof. Joerg Fichte, TÜbingen University”Recommended for all collections supporting medieval studies at the upper-division undergraduate level and above.” Choice Book Description Account of medieval English literature to appear for nearly a century.

⭐The book has a transparent plastic cover, which I appreciated, very much, because I have a copy of the Cambridge History of Early Modern English Literature which I covered with a similar transparent plastic covering.Thanks

⭐Un classico indispensabile per lo studio della letteratura inglese. Il volume poco maneggevole per il numero di pagine.
