This volume grew out of sessions on medieval preaching and sermons at the International Congress on Medieval Studies. Consisting of thirteen essays, each a chapter in the history of preaching, it presents a diverse selection of historical periods, methodologies, and audiences. It covers a broad timeframe, the 700s to 1511, and includes work on figures ranging from Bede to Ramon Llull. This book serves to suggest a solution to the lack of a general history of medieval preaching: that perhaps the next great history will be written by a team of scholars with diverse specialties. This volume serves as a step towards that lofty goal.
