Balaam’s Ass
Violence, Letters, and the Law
In June 1278, Richard Gravesend, bishop of Lincoln, sent a letter to King Edward I, begging his aid in punishing fourteen Christians excommunicated for working as servants and nursemaids in Jewish households. Eight years later, Richard Swinfield, bishop of Hereford, wrote to the chancellor of Hereford commanding that he publicly condemn Christian participants in a local Jewish wedding celebration. These letters attest to the hostile legal and pol…

Contest, Translation, and the Chaucerian Text
Olivia Robinson's Contest, Translation, and the Chaucerian Text is a fine addition to a spate of recent medievalist work employing the tools of manuscript study to reevaluate long-standing questions of authorship, canonicity, and translation. This book joins studies by Rory Critten, Matthew Fisher, Aditi Nafde, and Daniel Wakelin, among many others, in according to manuscripts and their producers a generatively disruptive power in ongoing critica…
Medieval Historical Writing
History writing in the Middle Ages did not belong to any particular genre, language or class of texts. Its remit was wide, embracing the events of antiquity; the deeds of saints, rulers and abbots; archival practices; and contemporary reportage. This volume addresses the challenges presented by medieval historiography by using the diverse methodologies of medieval studies: legal and literary history, art history, religious studies, codicology, th…
Medieval Historical Writing
Singing the Crusades
From 2011 to 2016, the University of Warwick, the University of La Sapienza in Rome and Royal Holloway, University of London, collaborated on an AHRC-funded project to collect, edit and translate more than two hundred Old French and Occitan crusade lyrics. The present book is one happy outcome of this effort. A companion volume to the richly informative online resource, it contextualises a complex and multifarious corpus, beginning in the 1130s w…
Conquest and transformation, the Oxford English literary history volume 1
A quick glance at the table of contents of the Norton Anthology of English Literature reveals the immediate usefulness of Laura Ashe's Conquest and Transformation. \nBetween 'Anglo-Saxon Literature' and 'Middle English Literature in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries' lie a mere sixty-odd pages, divided among early Irish lyrics, excerpts from Anglo-Norman Arthurian histories, and \nromance. The pressures of the literary survey have exerted mo…
Reading for the End
This article considers how genre categories marshal forms of social consensus through close examination of a late-fifteenth/early-sixteenth-century compilation, San Marino, Huntington Library, HM 144. Best known for its versions of Chaucer’s Tale of Melibee and Monk’s Tale, HM 144 also offers insight into the ways that successive generations of authors, scribes, and readers make and remake literary categories according to their intersecting — and…
