Book Synopsis

This volume is a selection of papers presented at the 10th International Conference on Middle English held at the University of Stavanger, Norway from 31 May to 2 June 2017. The collection bridges the gap between traditional ‘linguistic’ and ‘literary’ topics and provides a holistic view of current research within Middle English studies. The papers are organized under four main headings: The transmission of Middle English texts, Syntax and morphology, Genre and discourse and Textual afterlives. The contributions deal with materials ranging from canonical works such as Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales to little-studied texts such as administrative documents and scientific treatises.



Table of Contents

Scribal practice – Abbreviations in the Ancrene Wisse – Hippocratic lunaries – Late medieval administrative documents – Polar questions – Morphological conversion – Narration and argumentation in Middle English romances – Charms – Metaphor and figurative framing in Chaucer’s Parson’s Tale – Ælfric’s Glossary
