The importance of ambiguity has received little attention until now in the reception of medieval culture and literature or as a focus of research. These proceedings of an interdisciplinary conference evoke the broad range of discourses and intellectual contexts relevant to ambiguity. The authors examine phenomena of ambiguity and polysemy in their literary and cultural contexts to question the supposed absence of ambiguity in medieval culture.
