Ivanhoe, originally published in 1819, was the first of Scott's novels to be located wholly in England, and the first to take place in the Middle Ages. It was also the first novel in English to deal carefully with race.

This study of the Catholic Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg and its largely Protestant aristocracy demonstrates that shared family ties and traditional privilege could reduce religious based conflict. These findings raise fundamental questions about current interpretations of the Reformation era. Prince-bishops regularly appointed Lutheran nobles to administrative positions, and those Lutheran appointees served their Catholic overlords ably and loyally. Bamberg was a center for social interaction, business transactions, and career opportunities for aristocrats. As these nobles saw it, birthright and kinship ties made them suitable for service in the prince-bishopric. Catholic leaders concurred, confessional differences notwithstanding. This study tells the complicated story of how Lutheran nobles and their Catholic relatives struggled to maintain solidarity and cooperation during an era of religious strife and animosity

Palmerín y sus libros: 500 años celebra los quinientos años de la primera publicación en 1511 del Palmerín de Olivia, obra paradigmática que, como un nuevo principio, dará origen a una nueva serie de novelas de caballerías, la de los Palmerines, la que "junto con los Amadises constituyen dos de los fenómenos más fascinantes de la literatura de aventuras y son el corazón del auge y esplendor de las caballerías del siglo XVI". Este volumen, doblemente arbitrado, reúne veinte trabajos de investigadores de México. Los trabajos van de las cuestiones centradas en el Palmerín de Olivia a las más generales y referidas a otros libros de caballerías, del ciclo de los Palmerines en primer lugar, y de otros libros y ciclos; además, se han incluido trabajos relativos a la materia de Bretaña y a la narrativa caballeresca breve. Palmerín y sus libros: 500 años es también un tributo a la universalidad de los libros de caballerías, a su magia, a sus aventuras de amor y muerte, y a esa forma específica de nuestra nostalgia, que es la necesidad de conocernos y comprendernos en aquellos viejos y actuales libros de aventuras.

One of the most striking features of late medieval and early modern German was the countless feuds carried out by nobles. A constant threat to law and order, these feuds have commonly been regarded as a manifestation of the decline - economic and otherwise - of the nobility. This study shows that the nobility was not in crisis at this time. Nor were feuds merely banditry by another name. Rather, they were the result of an interplay between two fundamental processes: princely state-building, and social stratification among the nobility. Offering a new paradigm for understanding the German nobility, this book argues that the development of the state made proximity to princes the single most decisive factor in determining the fortune of a family. The result was a violent competition among the nobility over resources which were crucial to the princes. Feuds played a central role in this struggle that eventually led to the formation of an elite of noble families on whose power and wealth the princely state depended.

This is the first ever comprehensive study of the Scottish medieval romances. The book reinstates the status of the Scottish romances. It offers a new definition of the Scottish romance tradition, bringing together texts which have not generally been considered part of the same corpus. It argues that Barbour’s Bruce ( c .1375) established the rhetorical devices and literary traits which were going to be typical of the later Scottish romances. It also examines the extent to which the translation of the four Arthurian and Alexander romances from French originals follows Barbour’s precepts. These texts contributed to the founding both of the vernacular tradition and of the fabrication of national identity through dialogic interchanges between the narratives and the socio-historical circumstances of Scotland.
