- Description
- Manuscript environment (in the case of Huntington 140, the copying of ClT alongside several pious poems by Lydgate and circulation with a paraphrase of Job, the "Libelle of Englyshe Polycye," and several edifying narratives), combined with the interests of specific readerships and larger political forces, may alter, complicate, or enrich the ways a particular poem is understood, both by its original audiences and by scholars.
