Omschrijving
Bestsellers and masterpieces: The changing medieval canon offers a comparative critique of the development of the ‘modern canon’ of medieval literature across European and Middle Eastern medieval studies.
'The essays [...] invite the reader to consider the pre-modern and modern cultural milieu that led to specific works’ genesis and, centuries later, privileged position in the canon and to consider a place for once widely-transmitted works that have since been marginalized—two intellectual ventures that will undoubtedly enhance scholarship and undergraduate curricula.' Arthuriana
