Reviews

“This excellent volume contains individually strong chapters that have been thoughtfully curated by editors Sara M. Pons-Sanz and Louise Sylvester … . this is an impressive collection that moves the field forward in exciting ways while also making clear the rich potential for future studies. The chapters are uniformly of high quality and interest … . Medieval English in a Multilingual Context is a valuable contribution to the field in far more than a linguistic context.” (Lindy Brady, SELIM - Journal of the Spanish Society for Medieval English Language and Literature, Vol. 29 (1), 2024)
