\u003ci\u003eNew Medieval Literatures\u003c/i\u003e is an annual of work on medieval textual cultures, aiming to engage with intellectual and cultural pluralism in the Middle Ages and now. Its scope is inclusive of work across the theoretical, archival, philological, and historicist methodologies associated with medieval literary studies, and embraces both the British Isles and Europe.\u003cbr\u003e Essays in this volume engage with real and metaphorical relations between humans and nonhumans, with particular focus on spiders, hawks, and demons; discuss some of the earliest Middle English musical and, it is argued, liturgical compositions; describe the generic flexibility and literariness of medical discourse;consider strategies of affective and practical devotion, and their roles in building a community; and offer an example of the creativity of fifteenth-century vernacular religious literature. Texts discussed include the Old English riddles and Alfredian translations of the psalms; the lives of saints Dunstan, Godric, and Juliana, in Latin and English; \u003ci\u003ePiers Plowman\u003c/i\u003e, in fascinating juxtaposition with Hugh of Fouilloy's \u003ci\u003eAviarium\u003c/i\u003e; medical remedybooks and uroscopies, many from unedited manuscripts; and the fifteenth-century English \u003ci\u003eLife of Job\u003c/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e LAURA ASHE is Professor of English at the University of Oxford and Fellow and Tutor at Worcester College, Oxford; PHILIP KNOX is University Lecturer in English and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge; WENDY SCASE is Geoffrey Shepherd Professor of Medieval English Literature at the University of Birmingham; DAVID LAWTON is Professor of English at Washington University in St Louis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contributors: Jenny C.
