The literary, historical, cultural and intellectual background to the period is discussed in a comprehensive introduction to the volume." "This volume will prove indispensable to all university courses in Medieval Studies at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and make an important contribution to the debates on periodicity and canonicity in university curricula."--Jacket.
