Series Editor Foreword
Far from providing just a musty whiff of yesteryear, research in Medieval
Studies enters the new century as fresh and vigorous as never before.
Scholars representing all disciplines and generations are consistently pro
ducing works of research of the highest caliber, utilizing new approaches
and methodologies. Volumes in the Medieval History and Culture series
will include studies on individual works and authors of Latin and vernac
ular literatures, historical personalities and events, theological and philo
sophical issues, and new critical approaches to medieval literature and cul
ture.
Momentous changes have occurred in Medieval Studies in the past thir
ty years in teaching as well as in scholarship. Thus the goal of the Medieval
History and Culture series is to enhance research in the field by providing
an outlet for monographs by scholars in the early stages of their careers on
all topics related to the broad scope of Medieval Studies, while at the same
time pointing to and highlighting new directions that will shape and define
scholarly discourse in the future.
