Scholarly Attention

Medical and scientific manuscripts have been the interest of scholarly attention in recent decades and as a natural consequence, editions of unstudied material have flourished (Alonso-Almeida, 2014 or Marqués-Aguado, T. et alii, 2008, among others). This book is a Middle English edition of one of the most popular works circulating in the late medieval England, known as Circa Instans. This book presents a revised edition of the text found in CUL MS Es 1.13. ff 1r-91v, housed in the Cambridge University Library.

Sir Gawain

Some Middle English narratives juxtapose representations of hunting and histories of aristocratic loss. The Book of the Duchess and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight redirect anxieties about the contingency and precariousness of lordly advantage in a world that sometimes seems to be ruled by Fortune. Though produced in different formal traditions and different circumstances, the two poems display comparable features of a broader sense of ‘seigneurial poetics’ in late medieval texts.

Critical Attention

Unlike the martyr, the politician and the humanist, Thomas More, the translator, has received little critical attention to date. Nonetheless, a remarkable number of More’s writings, especially during the early 1500s, were either direct translations or indirect transformations of foreign literary traditions. It is precisely his output as a translator that reveals More to be a transitional figure, who was as thoroughly aware of the trends in late medieval and early humanist literature in the vernacular as he was closely involved with the new humanist learning brought into England through Erasmus and his circle. By examining some of More’s early translations and imitations and placing them within the context of similar contemporary works, this article intends to present the rapidly changing literary culture of the early Tudor years as a crucial period of transition, whose complex variety can hardly be grasped through the simple binary opposition between ‘medieval’ and ‘humanist’.
