商品簡介
The borderline between the periods commonly termed "medieval" and "Renaissance", or "medieval" and "early modern", has long been one of the most hotly contested faultlines in literary history studies. The essays collected here offer investigations into both periods, but, importantly, the relationship between the two; they thus form a fitting tribute to Professor Helen Cooper, whose own work in the areas has been seminal, acknowledging her sustained interest in traditions and genres that resist neat divisions of period. Topics includeThomas Churchyard and the medieval complaint tradition; the role of the family in popular prose romances; and Chaucer's House of Fame.
