- Description
- Zaerr explores the concept of "mouvance" (textual variation) as reflected in a performance of "The Weddynge," commenting on the process of performance and adaptation and tabulating variants between the manuscript of the poem and a recorded memorized performance. Briefly contrasts the flexibility of "Weddynge" with the relative metrical fixity of WBT and Gower's "Tale of Florent."
