520 $aOverview: "Medieval literature is separated from us by so many centuries that it may seem completely foreign. It does, however, have much to say to 21st century readers and Steinberg's book demonstrates its continuing appeal.n This introduction to medieval literature provides some of the cultural context that readers need to know, such as the religious orientation of the people, and their beliefs about romance and sexuality." The first chapter summarizes medieval religious thought, cosmology and intellectual history. The remaining chapters introduce a number of individual works from Beowulf to Chaucer. The discussions include works by women writers and Jewish writers and a chapter on the medieval Japanese masterpiece The Tale of Genji.
