Taking a broad European approach, this collection brings together specialists on medieval and early modern culture in order to challenge assumptions that medieval culture was homogenous and characterized by consensus, and that literary discourse is by nature 'eirenic'. The volume more clearly shows continuities and discontinuities and provides a more nuanced view of the meaning, role, and effect of 'polemic' both broadly across time and space, and more narrowly within specific circumstances.
