David O. Matthews, 2000. The Invention of Middle English: An
Anthology of Sources, 1700-1864. Making the Middle Ages 2.
Through extracts from seminal scholarship, each with explanatory
notes outlining its importance, impact, and place within other
works in the field, this book charts the formative years of the
development of 'Middle English' as a scholarly discipline which
emerged in the second half of the 18th century.
Richard Utz, 2002. Chaucer and the Discourse of German Philology:
A history of Critical Reception and an Annotated Bibliography of
Studies 1792-1948. Making the Middle Ages 3.
An exploration of the ways in which the history of Chaucer reception
mirrors cultural and political developments in Germany and in German
academia from the revolutionary and liberal Chaucer of the 'Vormärz'
(i.e. pre-March 1848) period to the ideological utilization of
Chaucer during the Third Reich and German Chaucer criticism after
1945.
Margaret Clunies Ross. 2002 for 2001. The Old Norse Poetic
Translations of Thomas Percy: A New Edition and Commentary.
Making the Middle Ages 4.
An annotated facsimile edition of Thomas Percy's Five Pieces of
Runic Poetry (1763), the first since it appeared as an appendix
to the second edition of Percy's Northern Antiquities (1809), plus
eight previously unpublished English translations by Percy of Old
Norse poetry in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
John Kennedy. Forthcoming. Translating the sagas: Two
hundred years of challenge and response. Making the Middle
Ages 5.
Saga translations have played a major role in shaping attitudes
towards Viking-age Scandinavia in Britain, the British Commonwealth,
and the United States. This is the first examination in a socio-historical
framework of the development of Icelandic saga translation into
English from the late 18th century to the present day.
Judith Johnston, 2005. George Eliot and the discourses
of Medievalism. Making the Middle Ages 6.
A study of how medieval discourses, such as hagiography, religious
allegory, and romance, modify the apparently classical realist
mode of George Eliot's novels Middlemarch (1871-72) and Daniel
Deronda (1876).
Juanita Ruys and Louise D'Arcens eds, 2004. Maistresse of My
Wit : Medieval Women, Modern Scholars. Making the Middle Ages 7.
This interdisciplinary volume deals with the complex, and often
reciprocal, relationship between contemporay medievalists and the
medieval women writers on whom they work. The contributors examine
the influence of medieval women's writing on the professional,
methodological, and critical, perspectives and practices of their
recent readers.
Stephanie Trigg ed., 2005. Medievalism and the Gothic
in Australian Culture. Making the Middle Ages 8 (co-production

ideas, and narratives in Australian culture. The contributors represent
a range of scholarly disciplines and traditions and their subject
matter includes early narrative of Australian ‘discovery’ the
conscious invocation of medieval and gothic tropes in Australian
fiction and poetry; the transformation of the medieval and the
gothic into fantasy literature and role-playing games; and the
implications of medieval and gothic tropes for discussions of Australian
nationalism.
