Summary

"The papers in this volume cover thematic anc cultural concerns ranging "from Arabye to Engelond," examining the medieval period from about the year 700 to its end and exploring the dialogue between Arabic and European cultures. Diverse in their topics and critical approaches, the essays are held together by their intricate relationships to each other.".
"The nucleus of the collection consists of papers on Middle English language, literature, and culture. Other papers examine the pervasive interaction between the European and Arabic cultures. Diachronically, the essays range from the Anglo-Saxon to the Bysantine era and beyond to nineteenth- and twentieth-century medievalism. In their multicultural diversity and interdisciplinarity, the papers reflect the personal and academic multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism of the volume's honoree."--BOOK JACKET.
