Its movement was impelled by trade, pilgrimage, crusade, migration, colonisation and conquest, and its contact zones included Muslim, Jewish and Christian communities, among others. Writers in these contact zones often expressed themselves and their worlds in French; but other languages and cultural settings could also challenge, reframe or even ignore French-users' prestige and self-understanding. The essays collected here offer cross-disciplinary perspectives on the use of French in the medieval world, moving away from canonical texts, well-known controversies and conventional framings. Whether considering theories of the vernacular in Outremer, Marco Polo and the global Middle Ages, or the literary patronage of aristocrats and urban patricians, their interlocutions throw new light on connected and contested literary cultures in Europe and beyond.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmItem Weight: 1gContributor: Karla Mallette (Contributions by), Lisa Demets (Contributions by), Máire Ní Mhaonaigh (Contributions by), Mark Chinca (Contributions by), Ruth Nisse (Contributions by), Sharon Kinoshita (Contributions by), Thomas O'Donnell (Contributions by), Uri Zvi Shachar (Contributions by), Thomas O'Donnell (Edited by), Jane Gilbert (Edited by), Brian J.
