Infos

In late medieval England, many religious texts were based on older source texts that were collected together and adapted to fit the needs of new, late medieval audiences. This book argues that devotional compilations written in Middle English are unique additions to late medieval textual and religious culture.

Autor

The book is primarily written for an international academic audience (researchers and postgraduate students), interested in late medieval literature, religious studies and manuscript studies. Middle English Devotional Compilations offers these readers a new perspective on late medieval compiling activity.
