About this title

Synopsis

This collection brings together twelve selected papers given at the Second Triennial Congress of the International Courtly Literature Society. Because the courtly ethos is the central phenomenon marking medieval vernacular literature, it provides a theme that serves as an ideological guide through the later Middle Ages and on into the Renaissance and as a framework for the essays collected in this volume.

Review

"The whole collection is energetic--even agressive--enough to sustain a reader interested in the field from cover to cover, and that is high praise for this kind of book."--"South Atlantic Review"
