Middle English Literature Reviews

"This astute and well-referenced collection offers numerous ports of embarcation for those seeking adventure in the turbulent and productive textual seas surrounding the more thoroughly explored masterworks of medieval literary culture."
Paul Strohm, J.R.R. Tolkien Professor, University of Oxford
