- Description
- Explores the emergence of the modern, first-person persona as manifested in autocitation. Assessing the influence of Augustine, Anselm, Ockham, and others, Kimmelman traces the development of autocitation in the works of Guillem IX, Marcabru, and Dante, focusing primarily on Langland and Chaucer. Kimmelman studies Chaucer's persona most closely in LGWP but also comments on PF, TC, ClT, Ret, and CT.
