| Abstract | Interest in text-image relations in French medieval studies has increased in recent decades. Yet, while this has fostered rich interdisciplinary research, scholarship has focussed largely on the earlier period. A similar rehabilitation of the 14th–16th century has yet to be effected. This session, stemming from a British Academy network, contributes to this. Bringing together specialists in verbal and visual analysis working in a variety of written and figural genres, it examines the manuscript as physical artefact and as performative space, the textuality of the image, and the value of a non-mimetic reading of text-image relations in late medieval French culture. |
