| Abstract | This session sponsored by the Onderzoekschool Mediëvistiek focuses on new ways of reading and interpreting medieval literary works from various backgrounds. How can we use different disciplines and new approaches in order to reveal the structure and meaning of medieval works of literature? Papers deal with a classic work of literature such a Walther de Chatillon's Alexandreis, with Italian novellae and the Middle Dutch epic of Walewein, thereby covering an interesting range of genres and regions. |
