- Description
- By eclectic approaches that borrow techniques from "modern literary theory, film analysis, sociolinguistics, and social anthropology" and that use historical views of medieval ideas and practice, Spearing illuminates a number of medieval poems, including BD, HF, and TC. Early chapters treat "elaborated and restricted codes," "early medieval narrative style," and "interpreting a medieval romance."
