Website of the Week (WoW) #159: Database of Middle English Romance
Middle English romances give us insight into the medieval imaginary, and they repeatedly challenge our assumptions about medieval English culture and its preoccupations. The Database of Middle English Romance seeks to make this rich body of literature more readily accessible to the modern reader. For each romance, it provides date and place of composition (where known), verse form, authorship and sources, extant manuscripts and early modern prints, a full list of modern editions and a plot summary that assists readers in negotiating more easily the extraordinary diversity of the genre.
