David Matthews is Lecturer in Medieval Literature and Culture at the University of Manchester
A collection of fine scholarly essays and also an intensely
personal tribute to a much-admired scholar ... This excellent
collection of essays both celebrates and demonstrates the network
of scholarship that has given us a continually renewed
understanding of medieval texts and their afterlife.'
Graham Tulloch, Parergon - Journal of the Australian and New
Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, volume
29.2 (2012).
Readers of In Strange Countries will value it differently depending
on their points of invested
contact with individual chapters. The best of these reach an
unimpeachable standard
of scholarship and will influence specialist conversation in their
fields.
