This series of critical books seeks to cover the whole area of literature written in
the major medieval languages — the main European vernaculars, and medieval
Latin and Greek — during the period c. 1100–1500. Its chief aim is to publish and
stimulate fresh scholarship and criticism on medieval literature, special emphasis
being placed on understanding major works of poetry, prose, and drama in relation
to the contemporary culture and learning which fostered them.
