A Companion to Alexander Literature in the Middle Ages

The legend of Alexander has history of more than two thousand years, and its incredibly diverse medieval linguistic traditions have never been drawn together in a single volume: readers have to deal with a myriad of articles scattered over journals and theme collections concerning both western and non-western recensions, which outpace the ability of editors, literary historians, and bibliographers to digest and catalogue them. The last collection of essays is Ross s 1985 Studies in the Alexander Romance. A new book would also follow on from the Companion to Alexander the Great commissioned for our classics list. The chapters would offer: a critical overview of current research in the major linguistic traditions, written by 14 experts in the field.
