Sir Bevis of Hampton is one of the most widespread and important Middle English romances. This book - the first ever full-length study to be devoted to it - considers it in its historical and
literary contexts, and its Anglo-Norman, Welsh, Irish and Icelandic versions. It also offers detailed textual analyses, and discusses particular aspects of the story, its `afterlife' and its
influence during the early modern period. CONTRIBUTORS: MARIANNE AILES, JUDITH WEISS, ERICH POPPE, REGINE RECK, CHRISTOPHER SANDERS, IVANA DJORDJEVIC, JENNIFER FELLOWS, ROBERT ALLEN ROUSE,
