Description
Explore the complex history of medieval literature with Bestsellers and Masterpieces: The Changing Medieval Canon. Published by Manchester University Press as part of the Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture series, this book examines the disconnect between modern academic study and actual medieval reading habits. While current scholars focus on texts considered canonical representations of the era, many of these works were not widely read or popular during the Middle Ages. Conversely, the manuscript record shows that many texts popular in their own time are now studied much less frequently. This work provides cross-cultural insight into medieval literary tastes and the political and literary forces that shaped the creation of the canon in both European and Middle Eastern studies.

Key Features

The book analyzes the manuscript record to compare popular medieval texts with those frequently taught in modern classrooms.
