Schiff contributes to recent conversations about disciplinary history by analyzing the nationalist context for scholars and editors involved in disseminating the literary historical theory of an Alliterative Revival. Redirecting Alliterative Revivalism's backward gaze, \u003ci\u003eRevivalist Fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e re-engages with the local contexts of select alliterative works. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Schiff revises readings of alliterative poetry as Francophobic, exploring the transnational imperialist elitism in the translation \u003ci\u003eWilliam of Palerne\u003c\/i\u003e. He contributes to the discussion of gender in \u003ci\u003eSir Gawain and the Green Knight\u003c\/i\u003e by linking the poem's powerful female players with anxieties about women's control of wealth and property in militarized regions of England. The book also explores the emphatically pre-national, borderlands sensibilities informing the \u003ci\u003eAwntyrs off Arthure\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGolagros\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGawane\u003c\/i\u003e, and it examines the exploitation of collaborative composition in the material legacy of the \u003ci\u003ePiers Plowman\u003c\/i\u003e tradition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eRevivalist Fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e concludes that Revivalist nationalism obscures crucial continuities between late-medieval and post-national worlds and that critics' interests should be channeled into the forging of connections between past and present rather than suspended in the scholarly pursuit of origins. The book will be of interest to scholars of editorial history and translation studies and to those interested in manuscript studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randy P.
