Table of ContentsReviews""William Carlos Williams wrote that there are 'no ideas but in things' and reading this fascinating collection of essays it is tempting to concur, for the authors ... make a compelling case for the importance of reading literature in a variety of intersections with material culture."" --Rebecca Pinner, English: Journal of the English Association ""Its chronological sweep and the attention to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries make Material Remains a welcome departure from business as usual in medieval English (note: not ""British"") studies. The volume will interest scholars concerned with alliterative verse, burial practices, hagiography, historiography, material culture, and issues of temporality and fictionality in early literature."" --Eric Weiskott, Speculum ""I was inspired by what this volume accomplishes, not only in its plethora of intersections between material culture and literature but also its demonstrations of how these intersections encourage us--indeed, oblige us--to breach 'period' barriers between early and late medieval, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and often enough the centuries beyond."" --Andrew Galloway, author of Medieval Literature and Culture: A Student Guide ""The range is admirably wide, from early Anglo-Saxon writing to early modern, a width that answers to the volume's own resistance to historical alterity: these are stories that can be told only within long chronologies. The objects, as recounted in these stories of invention, are wonderfully alive, giving a good name to Thing Theory."" --James Simpson, author of Permanent Revolution: The Reformation and the Illiberal Roots of Liberalism I was inspired by what this volume accomplishes, not only in its plethora of intersections between material culture and literature but also its demonstrations of how these intersections encourage us--indeed, oblige us--to breach 'period' barriers between early and late medieval, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and often enough the centuries beyond. --Andrew Galloway, author of Medieval Literature and Culture: A Student Guide The range is admirably wide, from early Anglo-Saxon writing to early modern, a width that answers to the volume's own resistance to historical alterity: these are stories that can be told only within long chronologies.
