{"product_id":"from-beowulf-to-caxton","title":"From «Beowulf» to Caxton","description":"Senshu University has hosted many international conferences on medieval English literature – primarily on Geoffrey Chaucer and William Langland – as well as in the related fields of Old Germanic, medieval French and Renaissance Italian literature. These international collaborations inform and contribute to the present volume, which addresses the heritage bequeathed to medieval English language and literature by the classical world.\u003cbr\u003e This volume explores the development of medieval English literature in light of contact with Germanic and Old Norse cultures, on the one hand, and Romance languages, on the other. The book includes a comparative study of \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e in the Germanic context, discusses aspects of \u003ci\u003ePiers Plowman\u003c\/i\u003e and its tradition, and offers philological approaches to Chaucer (especially his \u003ci\u003eTroilus and Criseyde\u003c\/i\u003e). The articles assembled here collectively suggest how the torches of classical learning were carried from continental Europe to illuminate the pages of medieval English literature.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223155560792,"sku":"9783034301046","price":65.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783034301046_08534a7d-15a5-4fc1-86c2-69463886b31f.jpg?v=1777085174","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/from-beowulf-to-caxton","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
