is book arose from a conference held in Durham University in July 2017
under the auspices of the ‘French Books and eir Readers’ research strand
of the Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (IMEMS). We wish
to thank the Institute for its sponsorship of this event and its sta for help in
seing it up. We also acknowledge nancial assistance from Durham University
in the form of an International Engagement Grant to enable us to defray costs
for one of our speakers. Heather Dubnick mercifully undertook to compile the
index on short notice. Finally, we are grateful to Brepols for their enthusiasm
for this project and the care shown for our volume throughout the production
process. In particular, we would like to acknowledge Guy Carney, our editor,
and Katharine Bartle, our eagle-eyed copyeditor, for their invaluable help.
