This timely and innovative collection makes a strong argument for the relevance of the humanities' traditional core - the study of medieval and early modern literature and culture - as transformed and transmitted in the globalized classrooms of the twenty-first century. Rigorously and relevantly attending to a diverse range of texts, theories, and practices for teaching cross-cultural and -temporal encounters, its twelve original essays constitute an important intervention into critical, pedagogical, and policy debates across a range of disciplines and institutions. This collection is bound to become an indispensable resource for researchers, teachers, and students of medieval and early modern studies, as well as pedagogical, performance, and postcolonial studies more broadly. - Bernadette Andrea, Professor of English, University of Texas at San Antonio
