Textual Traditions and Medieval Literary Culture

Textual Traditions and Medieval Literary Culture

Laurie A Finke

Essays illuminating how medieval cultures and identities have influenced
later authors, texts, and communities.How did medieval literary cultures shape, and how were
they shaped by, their received textual traditions? And how have cultures continued to
respond to the inherited medieval tradition in later eras? This volume explores these
important questions, considering how language and literature mediate the narration of
history or culture - especially the culture and identity of Britain.In addressing the
overarching concern of the conception of the past in the literatures of medieval Britain,
and the later reception of medieval texts, the contributors' essays respond to the diverse
areas of medieval studies upon which Professor Echard's work has had significant influence.
They address, amongst other subjects, Arthuriana and "e;Matter of Britain"e;
texts, the literary interrelationships between medieval Wales and England, medieval
adaptations and interpretations of texts from classical antiquity, the poet John Gower, and
medievalism in later centuries. As Professor Echard has consistently demonstrated in these
fields, and as these essays overwhelmingly confirm, the past is rarely, if ever, represented
at face value in the cultural products that lay claim to it.
