- Description
- Various practices of writing and formatting texts clarify how authors imagined writing and how readers received vernacular texts. Using models from cultural studies, editorial theory, semiotics, and traditions of medieval commentary, Irvine argues that Chaucer's dream poems reproduce the metatextual and metalingual consciousness represented by the interplay of text and gloss in a manuscrtipt culture.
