Charles D. Wright, Thomas N. Hall, and Thomas D. Hill, A New Commentary on the Old English 'Prose Solomon and Saturn' and 'Adrian and Ritheus' Dialogues (Brepols, 2024)
This volume, featuring the scholarship of three Illinois-affiliated medievalists led by emeritus professor and director Charlie Wright, explicates the curious lore transmitted in these two Old English dialogues: tracing the origins, transmission, and transmutations of each motif in early medieval sources and citing many previously unnoticed analogues. Literary and analysis is accompanied by a comprehensive survey of other early medieval Joca monachorum and related genres (both Latin and vernacular).
