Tcne 19 Laments for the Lost in Medieval Literature, Tolmie

This is a collection of essays on the subject of lament in the medieval period, with a particular emphasis on parental grief. The analysis of texts about pain and grief is an increasingly important area in medieval studies, offering as it does a mean of exploring the ways in which cultural meanings arise from loss and processes of mourning. Scholars from Canada, the USA, New Zealand, the UK, and elsewhere, have come together to produce a volume with a coherent thematic focus and a primary investment in Northern European medieval texts.
