Orality and Literacy in the Middle Ages

Essays on a Conjunction and Its Consequences in Honour of D.H. Green. Edited by Mark Chinca and Christopher Young.

Scholars from Britain, Germany and North America follow Green’s insistence on the conjunction of medieval orality and literacy, and show how this approach can open up new areas for investigation as well as help to reformulate old problems. The languages and literatures covered include English, Latin, French, Occitan and German, and the essays span the whole of the period from the early Middle Ages through to the fifteenth centuryWith contributions by Katherine O'Brien O'Keeffe, Wolfgang Haubrichs, Nigel F.
