"This reference work will help a generation raised on web searches understand and use library resources (print and digital) on English literature from 450 to 1500. Covering research skills and providing an annotated bibliography of basic to advanced resources, this guide will be useful to veteran scholars as well as students new to the field, and as a textbook for advanced classes. Annotations for materials covering genres, bibliographies/indexes, manuscripts, journals, digital humanities, and so on are very informative. Online resources mentioned are reputable and likely to endure. In the final chapter Booher (Fairfax County Public Library) and Gunn (Catholic Univ. of America) use author Thomas Hoccleve (1368-1426) to exemplify literary research. The authors acknowledge the interdisciplinary nature of medieval studies by providing an appendix of resources for further study. . . As the first literary research guide to the period, this work is excellent. . . Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.-- ""Choice Reviews"""
