Regionalism in Late Medieval Manuscripts and Texts was the theme of the fifth York Manuscripts Conference, held at the University of York in July 1989, which celebrated the publication of A Linguistic Atlas of Late Mediaeval English, a major research tool for English medievalists. The York conference brought together dialectologists, codicologists, editors, literary scholars and historians whose work engages in very diverse ways with aspects of regionalism in the Middle Ages.
