Description
The aim of the “Flyting Poetry across Medieval Cultures” roundtable is to draw together scholars working on the genre of flyting in different medieval cultures and literatures. It fosters dialogue among different medieval cultures, which is significant in terms of enriching the overall academic field of medieval studies. It also brings together diverse geographic areas and time spans, and puts them into conversation. The roundtable draws attention to the unexamined facets of word play and perceptions in the medieval world inside and outside royal courts. Participants will present on a specific aspect of flyting pertaining to either medieval European or medieval Arabic scholarship.
