Reviews

Taste alone will enable a reader to distinguish between the thirteen con¬tributions assembled here and edited superbly by Margaret Connolly and Linne Mooney. The essays are all impressive. [...] This is a meritorious book, then, brimming over with manuscript particulars, a model of the multiple, complementary approaches that major scholars are now bringing to bear on the study of Middle English literature and cultural history.
*JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND GERMANIC PHILOLOGY*

The contents are often fascinatingly valuable and well designed and illustrated.
*YEAR'S WORK IN ENGLISH STUDIES*

A thoroughly satisfying read and one in which the essays are of a consistently high standard - testimony to the judgement of the editors.
