Medieval Cultural Studies Essays in Honour of Stephen Knight

The first book-length study of medieval culture, this remarkable overview examines recent developments and research in the field of medieval studies, spotlighting the Robin Hood tradition, Chaucer, romance, and medievalist crime fiction. Subjects are addressed with a cultural studies slant, yet also invoke the broad spirit of the work that is now being undertaken in departments in the U.S., Australia, and Britain. Published in recognition of Stephen Knight, a professor of English literature at Cardiff University who has pioneered work in this area, a distinguished group of contributors from Australia, America, England, and Wales, give testament to Stephen Knight’s diverse teaching and research experiences.
