Andrew Bozio reviews Niayesh, A Knight's Legacy

Andrew Bozio's recently reviewed Ladan Niayesh, ed. A Knight?s Legacy: Mandeville and Mandevillian Lore in Early Modern England (Manchester and New York: Manchester University Press, 2011), at Medievally Speaking. The review was curated by Leah Haught.

Since David Aers?s seminal essay, ?A Whisper in the Ear of Early Modernists; or, Reflections on Literary Critics Writing the ?History of the Subject,?? scholars of Renaissance literature have been encouraged to reconsider the influence of medieval literature and culture upon the early modern period. One of the strengths of Ladan Niayesh?s edited collection,A Knight?s Legacy: Mandeville and Mandevillian Lore in Early Modern England, is that it enables this reconsideration of periodization with exceptional precision. Certainly, the volume?s most specific contribution comes in its ability to advance the field of Mandeville studies.
