The Spirit of Medieval English Popular Romance Paperback / softback
Edited by Ad Putter, Jane Gilbert
Part of the Longman Medieval and Renaissance Library series
Paperback / softback
Description
This collection of twelve specially commissioned essays provides a stimulating guide to the Middle English popular romances.
These were very popular in later medieval Britain and even today students of medieval literature will encounter examples of the genre, such as Sir Orfeo, Sir Tristrem, and Sir Launfal.
Each essay introduces one popular romance, setting it in its literary and historical contexts, and develops an original interpretation that reveals the possibilities that popular romances offer for modern literary criticism.
A substantial introduction by the editors discusses the production and transmission of popular romances in the Middle Ages, and considers the modern reception of popular romance and the interpretative challenges offered by new theoretical approaches.
