Reviews

This book is admirable in its depth and its breadth; individual chapters focus on the specifics of texts and manuscripts while topics range across time and space. It provides readers with a new way of thinking about medieval literary culture as constantly evolving, moving, and adapting, without being tied to authors, origins, or centers ... They propose a persuasive, mobile vision of medieval French, its texts, and its manuscripts that is open to a range of histories and futurities, nationalisms and pre-nationalisms, localizations and universalities. * J. R. Mattison, Comitatus *
