Expertise
Elisabeth de Bruijn is a postdoctoral fellow of the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), affiliated with the department of Dutch studies at the University of Antwerp.

Across Boundaries: A Western European Canon of Romances in an Era of Media Change (1471- c. 1550)
Abstract
The advent of print facilitated the dissemination of medieval romances and enabled the development of a transnational canon in Western Europe. The study of these narratives as a group transcends the limits of national philologies. It advances our understanding of the international success and regional diversity of this subject matter.Researcher(s)

The Middle Low German 'Flos unde Blankeflos'. Text, codex and context.
Abstract
The aim of this reception research is to find out in what ways the textual composition of the five manuscripts containing the Middle Low German Flos unde Blankeflos influences the reception of this text and how the codices correspond and differ in this. First the tradition history of the work is regarded. Finally both text and codex are discussed with regard to the Middle Low German literature and the European Floire et Blanchefleur tradition.Researcher(s)
