About this book

Historicist Essays on Hispano-Medieval Narrative in Memory of Roger M. Walker. Ed. by Barry Taylor and Geoffrey West.

In this volume seventeen scholars from Great Britain, Ireland, Spain and the US pay tribute to the memory of Roger M Walker. His publications were chiefly in the field of Old Spanish narrative –– epic, romance, hagiography and the Libro de buen amor –– and the editors have sought to assemble contributions on these topics. Versions of some of the papers were presented at the symposium held in Professor Walker’s memory at Birkbeck College in October 1999.
