The essays in this volume, edited by Slavica Rankovi? with Ingvil Brügger Budal, Aidan Conti, Leidulf Melve, and Else Mundal, are geared towards reopening the debate concerning who should be credited with creativity - the talented individual, tradition/society, or the creative process itself. The products of medieval culture, with their own dynamics of networked authorship and narratives that often precede their tellers, provide a uniquely rich resource for anyone attempting to conceptualise authorship today.
