"""This book is a true companion, providing a panoramic view of Medieval Iberia while also presenting the state of the !eld in key areas. Hence the collection is a valuable resource for early modernists, as we are often called upon to teach the Medieval period, particularly in survey courses, and our research can only benefit from an appreciation for the latest work in a closely related field. The volume is informed by the fifty-year career of Michael Gerli, who is known for applying contemporary theory to early texts and whose research transits the two fields, as well as by the legacy of his impact upon his students, including his co-editor, Ryan Giles. Together, they assembled selections from an impressive range of scholars of different disciplines, generations and national traditions, drawing upon the cultural production of the many peoples and languages of Iberia —Semitic and Romance—, fulfilling their claims to decenter the Castilian canon and avoid facile teleologies and taxonomies."" Crystal Anne Chemris, University of Oregon, US; Calíope: Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry, vol. 26, no. 2 (2021)"
