Endorsements
'The bibliographies are a scholar's dream: the most recent scholarship is cited in addition to important classic works of the past. The index should be a model for those dealing with variant spellings and versions of similar works. The author of the Germans should be brought for every collage and university library where German literature, and medieval studies offered.' '...a handsome volume...highly recommended...' Choice '...an excellent source for a thoroughgoing introduction to the field...excellently edited...and handsomely produced...' Journal of English and Germanic Philology '...a volume of excellent articles written by outstanding German and British medievalists.' Studi Medievali
