- Description
- Uses the "two models" of "genealogy and thing theory" to explore "the generation of meaning in medieval texts," addressing issues of differences between the "Chaucerian" tradition and the "Piers Plowman" tradition and the processes of their formulations. Explores how the "Chaucerian tradition enabled a truly 'public voice' or common identity among English writers" and includes discussion of the presence of TC and "Piers Plowman" in both Huntington Library, San Marino MS HM 143 and HM 114. Also assesses relations between "Pearl" and "Piers Plowman."
