Praise / Awards

• “This book offers a fascinating and very timely investigation of the relationship between Middle English and Castilian romance traditions in the later Middle Ages. A consideration of English romance alongside the romance of Iberia has been missing, and Imagining Iberia makes us aware of this lack and promises to reorient how we view the international engagements of medieval English literature.” 

  —Heather Blurton, University of California, Santa Barbara

• “Imagining Iberia offers a new and valuable approach to reading neighboring texts in different languages and with diverse backgrounds. We medievalists have been expressing a desire to expand beyond the boundaries that previous generations of medievalists have built. Houlik-Ritchey’s book provides us with an alternative approach.”
