The period covered is from the twelfth to the fifteenth century; the texts involved range from the Brendan to a late-medieval treatise on princely behaviour. Despite the diversity of material explained. certain constants emerge: a preoccupation with language. an interest in the concept of genre and its implications. exploration of connections between literary texts and other cultural phenomena.
