The Death of the Grammatical Ego : Lyric Resistance to Individualism in Late Medieval Narrative
- Published
- Dissertation Abstracts International 51 (1990): 159A.
- Description
- Twelfth-century lyric employs a generalized, nonhistoric "I"; thirteenth-century composition represses this voice in favor of a specific and individualized narrator. BD, though it seems to endorse the latter, actually returns to the songlike, undiferentiated "I."
