Abstract:

Senshu University has hosted many international conferences on medieval 
English literature - primarily on Geoffrey Chaucer and William Langland - as 
well as in the related fields of Old Germanic, medieval French and 
Renaissance Italian literature. These international collaborations inform and 
contribute to the present volume, which addresses the heritage bequeathed to 
medieval English language and literature by the classical world.
This volume explores the development of medieval English literature in light 
of contact with Germanic and Old Norse cultures, on the one hand, and 
Romance languages, on the other. The book includes a comparative study of 
Beowulf in the Germanic context, discusses aspects of Piers Plowman and 
its tradition, and offers philological approaches to Chaucer (especially his 
Troilus and Criseyde). The articles assembled here collectively suggest how 
the torches of classical learning were carried from continental Europe to 
illuminate the pages of medieval English literature.
