Known for championing once-neglected writers such as Gower, Hoccleve, and Lydgate, Simpson has also pioneered the field of Trans-Reformation studies, dismantling the barrier between the medieval and early modern periods. He has written powerfully about the history of freedoms, the relationship between literary and intellectual history, and about the category of the literary itself in all its urgency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Inspired by Simpson's interventions, the essays collected here deal with texts and topics from the eighth to the seventeenth centuries. Langland's \u003ci\u003ePiers Plowman\u003c\/i\u003e and Chaucer's \u003ci\u003ePhysician's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTroilus and Criseyde\u003c\/i\u003e rub shoulders with Old English riddles, \u003ci\u003eSaint Erkenwald\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Digby Lyrics\u003c\/i\u003e, Lydgate's \u003ci\u003eDietary\u003c\/i\u003e, and Lodge's \u003ci\u003eRobert the Devil\u003c\/i\u003e. Revisionist studies of two much-debated genres - allegory and romance - join forces with chapters on neglected physical features of early books, line-fillers and catchwords, as well as studies of iconoclasm and the histories of enemy love. The volume begins with a piece by the honorand himself, on recognition in literary texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel G.
