Negotiating Boundaries in Medieval Literature and Culture : Essays on Marginality, Difference, and Reading Practices in Honor of Thomas Hahn, Hardback Book

Negotiating Boundaries in Medieval Literature and Culture : Essays on Marginality, Difference, and Reading Practices in Honor of Thomas Hahn Hardback

Edited by Valerie B. Johnson, Kara L. McShane

Part of the Festschriften, Occasional Papers, and Lectures series

Hardback

Description

Thomas Hahn's work laid the foundations for medieval romance studies to embrace the study of alterity and hybridity within Middle English literature.

His contributions to scholarship brought Robin Hood studies into the critical mainstream, normalized the study of historically marginalized literature and peoples, and encouraged scholars to view medieval readers as actively encountering others and exploring themselves.

This volume employs his methodologies - careful attention to texts and their contexts, cross-cultural readings, and theoretically-informed analysis - to highlight the literary culture of late medieval England afresh.

Addressing long-established canonical works such as Chaucer, Christine de Pizan, and Malory alongside understudied traditions and manuscripts, this book will be of interest to literary scholars of the later Middle Ages who, like Hahn, work across boundaries of genre, tradition, and chronology.
