Riassunto

Sir Bevis of Hampton is one of the most widespread and important Middle English romances. This book - the first ever full-length study to be devoted to it - considers it in its historical and literary contexts, and its Anglo-Norman, Welsh, Irish and Icelandic versions. It also offers detailed textual analyses, and discusses particular aspects of the story, its "afterlife" and its influence during the early modern period.

Recensione:

Each contribution [...] provides a fresh, thoroughly referenced discussion [...] This volume will be essential for those looking for expert views on Bevis and the textual and cultural questions it raises. With its detailed information on manuscripts and printed editions and a comprehensive bibliography [...] it is a valuable resource and likely to stimulate further research into one of the most significant of insular romances. STUDIES IN THE AGE OF CHAUCER

Traditional, manuscript-based, and linguistic analyses sit well alongside political, racial, and gender readings; students and scholars alike will find the collection rewarding, and a comprehensive guide to this rich romance and its traditions, while new directions for further research are also well represented. YEAR'S WORK IN ENGLISH STUDIES

For scholars of medieval literature, a book like this is another welcome sign that even in one oft-told and well-worn story, as in all the European Romance tradition, are riches that are far from being exhausted. JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND GERMANIC PHILOLOGY

The collection as a whole, then, is remarkable not only for the high quality of its individual pieces, but especially for the lively internal dialogue and interaction between the different contributors. It successfully conveys a sense of both the enduring appeal and the remarkable fluidity of the Bevis-story, and is bound to become a precious tool for both students and researchers in the field. NOTES AND QUERIES

A welcome acknowledgement of the multi-faceted interest of a text that enjoyed such a high and enduring profile. ENCOMIA
