It will be of special interest to scholars and students of Arthurian and Middle English literature, codicologists, scholars interested in medieval Latin sermons and the Gesta Herewardi , in medieval drama and in texts in Middle English, among them Sir Gawain and the Green Knight , Wynnere and Wastoure , Sir Eglamour , the Tale of Gamelyn , and, in Scots, the metrical chronicle of William Stewart. Articles on early twentieth-century Chaucerian scholarship and on many of the Old French Arthurian romances as well as the writings of Wace and Benoît de Sainte-Maure are also included.
