Medieval English Comedy

Contributors identified only by name look for comedy in some neglected corners, but also offer new insights into well trodden paths of Middle English literature. Their topics include the Pilgrimage Window in York Minster, puns and currency in the Shipman's Tale, gender anxiety and dialogic laughter in Malory's Morte Darthur, and musical comedy in the Medieval choir.
