This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to postcolonial medieval studies and examines the historical connections between postcolonial studies and medieval studies. Lisa Lampert-Weissig provides new readings of medieval texts including Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, Mandeville's Travels and Guillaume de Palerne, a romance about werewolves set in Norman Sicily. In addition, she examines Walter Scott's Ivanhoe from the perspective of postcolonial medieval studies, as well contemporary novels by Salman Rushdie, Tariq Ali, Juan Goytisolo, and Amitav Ghosh.
Lisa Lampert-Weissig teaches in the Literature Department at the University of California, San Diego, where she also directs the interdisciplinary German Studies program. Previously she was on the faculty of the English Department at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Her publications include Gender and Jewish Difference from Paul to Shakespeare (2004) and articles in The German Quarterly, Jewish History, Modern Language Quarterly and the Journal of Popular Culture.
