- Additional information
- This collection of essays, published in the prestigious series of British Academy Publications by OUP, is the result of a careful selection of papers, later amply developed, from the British Academy-funded conference in 2012. This international conference, with an attendance of 80 and more than 30 speakers, focused, for the first time ever, on the much-debated topic of the medieval manuscript miscellany from a multilingual perspective. Radulescu was co-organiser of the conference, and, as co-editor, Radulescu selected the papers, commissioned the revised versions, providing advice and several stages of editing, and co-wrote the substantial theoretical introduction (15,000 words, out of which Radulescu's share is 8,000), and Radulescu's own chapter (8,000 words). The latter is an original investigation of a miscellany manuscript from the novel perspective of considering its potential political readings. The collection, as a whole, offers the first ever intervention of this kind in the area of manuscript studies insofar as it focuses on miscellaneity in England (versus previous attempts at grouping studies by language or dominant genre of the text in a manuscript collection).
