The medieval north of England has been underexplored to date, and this
volume may be seen as an invitation for further exploration. It brings
together scholars with shared interests in language, literature,
culture, history and manuscript studies, viewed from different
disciplinary perspectives such as English philology, historical
linguistics and medieval literature. While many scholars have thus far
been debating the dividing lines between north and south as well as
between north, Midlands and south, the contributors to this volume are
interested in texts produced in the north, the providence of which has
been determined by way of affiliation to religious and civic writing
centres including the important monastic houses in the north (such as
Durham, York and the Yorkshire Cistercian houses). Most of the
contributions grow out of recent and ongoing research projects that
touch upon different aspects of the north of England in the medieval
period. Concentrating on the north as a centre of manuscript production, dissemination and reception, this volume aims also at illustrating the fluidity of boundaries and communication, and the resulting links to different geographical regions.
