Medieval Societies, Religions, and Cultures from Cornell University Press With the intention of fostering the best historical scholarship that focuses on the medieval past as multidimensional, the new series Medieval Societies, Religions, and Cultures (MSRC) published by Cornell University Press will prioritize work that investigates the profound interconnectedness of religions, politics, cultures, social lives and contexts, ideologies, and materialities that shaped the human experience between 300 and 1500. As a way of framing new narratives of the past, series editors Cecilia Gaposchkin and Anne Lester will seek out and cultivate scholarship that breaks new historical ground by highlighting these relationships and that foregrounds links across methodological, disciplinary, evidentiary, and geographical divides.

By cultivating a collection of books that define the period and place of the Middle Ages in broad, interdisciplinary, and multi-confessional terms, we would also be responding to, and taking part in, changes in the field exemplified by new work and critical questions related to the study of gender, race, global history, religious difference and hybridity, migration and mobility as agents of change, and a new interest in class and the material past. The series will be committed to the study of a new Middle Ages, one vibrant in its diversity, vigorous in its lived depth, and vital in its methodological engagements to shaping the discipline of history.

Reversing the historical perspec�ve in which scholars conven�onally view these authors, Weisko� reveals Langland to be metrically precocious and Chaucer metrically nostalgic.

Manuscript Studies Manuscript Studies is a new journal that embraces the full complexity of global manuscript studies in the digital age. It has been conceived with four main goals in mind. First, to bridge the gaps between material and digital manuscript research; second, to break down the walls which often separate print and digital publication and serve as barriers between academics, professionals in the cultural heritage field, and citizen scholars; third, to serve as a forum for scholarship encompassing many pre-modern manuscripts cultures—not just those of Europe; and finally to showcase methods and techniques of analysis in manuscript studies that can be applied across different subject areas.

Rivalrous Masculinities

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PRESS

Bringing together the work of both leading and emerging scholars in the field of medieval gender studies, the essays in Rivalrous Masculini�es advance our understanding of medieval masculinity as a pluralized category and as an intersec�onal category of gender.

ReFormations: Medieval and Early Modern from the University of Notre Dame Press ReFormations: Medieval and Early Modern interrogates and challenges the ways in which the academy has divided the study of early English literature and its history into two separate, almost incommensurate realms, medieval and early modern. The series is reforming this practice by publishing a range of literary, historical, and cultural works that will move easily across old divisions.

Series Editors: David Aers, Duke University, Sarah Beckwith, Duke University, James Simpson, Harvard University

Sheds new light on medieval construc�ons of the self as they emerge from within a deeply sacramental culture. The book examines the medieval morality play, a genre that explicitly addresses the ques�on of what it means to be human and takes up the ritual tradi�ons of confession and penance, long associated with medieval interiority, as its primary subjects.
