\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 trace institutional histories, examining the textual and memorial practices of religious institutions across the British Isles; explore language games that play with meaning in Anglo-French poetry; examine the interplay of form and matter in Italian song; position Old Norse sagas in an ecocritical and a postcolonial framework; consider the impact of papal politics on Middle English poetry; and read allegorical poetry as a privileged site for asking fundamental questions about the nature of the mind. Texts discussed include lives of St Aebbe of Coldingham, with a focus on the twelfth-century Latin Vita and its afterlives; a range of Latin and vernacular works associated with institutional houses, including the \u003ci\u003eVie de Edmund le rei\u003c/i\u003e by Denis Piramus and the \u003ci\u003eEcclesiastical History\u003c/i\u003e of Orderic Vitalis; both the didactic and lyrical writings of Walter de Bibbesworth; the trecento Italian \u003ci\u003ecaccia\u003c/i\u003e, especially examples by Vincenzo da Rimini and Lorenzo Masini;\u003ci\u003eBárðar saga, Egils saga\u003c/i\u003e, and other Old Norse works that reveal the traces of encounters with a racial other; John Gower's \u003ci\u003eConfessio Amantis\u003c/i\u003e, in striking juxtaposition with late-medieval accounts of ecclesiastical crisis; and Alain Chartier's \u003ci\u003eLivre de l'Espérance\u003c/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e PHILIP KNOX Is University Lecturer in English and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge; KELLIE ROBERTSON is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at theUniversity of Maryland; WENDY SCASE is Geoffrey Shepherd Professor of Medieval English Literature at the University of Birmingham; LAURA ASHE is Professor of English at the University of Oxford and Fellow and Tutor at Worcester College, Oxford. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contributors: Daisy Delogu, Thomas Hinton, Thomas O'Donnell, Daniel Remein, Jamie L.
