Summary/Abstract: "Marvels of Reading. Essays in Honour of Profesor Andrzej Wicher" jest tomem esejów napisanych w większości w języku angielskim i honorującym sześćdziesięciolecie urodzin profesora Andrzeja Wichra, jednego z czołowych mediewistów i szekspirologów polskich. Tom składa się z jedenastu tekstów autorstwa uznanych polskich badaczy literatury, kultury i filozofii krajów anglojęzycznych, przyjaciół i dawnych uczniów Profesora, a tematyka tekstów obraca się wokół zainteresowań badawczych jubilata: studiów nad literaturą starogermańską, staroangielską, średnioangielską, "Rajem utraconym" J. Miltona, poezją G. M. Hopkinsa, filozofią melancholii, strukturą baśni, a także tłumaczeniem średnioangielskiego romansu rycerskiego.  Tom zawiera w sobie następujące artykuły: “Margery Kempe’s Roman (Purgatorial) Holiday, or on Penance and Pleasure in Medieval Journeys” (Liliana Sikorska); “Magic and Religion in the Prose Merlin” (Bartłomiej Błaszkiewicz); “All That is Wrought is not Gold: Locating Wealth in Old English Gnomic Texts” (Rafał Borysławski); “The Character of Iêsu Krist in the Old Saxon Gospel Harmony The Hêliand as a Dramatic Cultural Synthesis Combining Elements of Deep Christian Piety and the Germanic Code of Heroic Honour” (Łukasz Neubauer); “’Margaret, are you grieving over Goldengrove unleaving?’: ‘Spring and Fall’ in the Poetic Thoughts of Gerard Manley Hopkins (and Charles Taylor’s Philosophy)” (Ewa Borkowska); “Ethnically Different Mothers-in-law in Chaucer’s Man of Law’s Tale and Its 2003 BBC Adaptation” (Anna Czarnowus); “Jacques and the Politics of Melancholia” (Tadeusz Sławek); “Death and the Hero – Paradise Lost and the Problem of Theomachia” (Maria Błaszkiewicz); “A Fairy Tale in Focus: Ecstatic Focalisations in A Christmas Carol” (Jacek Mydla); „Czytanie cudów w Panu Gawenie i Zielonym Rycerzu i Opowieści Franklina” (Barbara Kowalik); “More Motivated Malignity?
