The study of medieval literature has experienced a revolution in the last two        decades, which has reinvigorated many parts of the discipline and changed the shape        of the subject in relation to the scholarship of the previous generation. 'New'        texts (laws and penitentials, women's writing, drama records), innovative fields and        objects of study (the history of the book, the study of space and the body, medieval        masculinities), and original ways of studying them (the Sociology of theText,        performance studies) have emerged. This has brought fresh vigour and impetus to        medieval studies, and impacted significantly on cognate periods and areas. The        Oxford Handbook of Medieval Literature in English brings together the insights of        these new fields and approaches with those of morefamiliar texts and methods of        study, to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of medieval literature        today. It also returns to first principles in posing fundamental questions about the        nature, scope, and significance of the discipline, and the directions that it might        take in the next decade.The Handbook contains 44 newly commissioned essays from both        world-leading scholars and exciting new scholarly voices. Topics covered range from        the canonical genres of Saints' lives, sermons, romance, lyric poetry, and heroic        poetry; major themes including monstrosity and marginality, patronage and literary        politics, manuscript studies and vernacularity are investigated; and there are close        readings of key texts, such as Beowulf, Wulf and Eadwacer, and AncreneWisse and key        authors from lfric to Geoffrey Chaucer, Langland, and the Gawain        Poet.
