- Description
- A capacious survey of critical theory and application in medieval letters, with twenty-seven essays by various authors, arranged in seven sections: the liberal arts and Latin textuality, the study of classical authors, textual psychologies, vernacular theory in the early Middle Ages, vernacular theory in the late Middle Ages, Latin and vernacular theory in Italian, and literary theory in Byzantium. Chaucer is referred to in passing (see the index), and discussed at some length in "Vernacular Literary Consciousness c. 1100-c. 1500: French, German and English Evidence" (pp. 422-71), by Kevin Brownlee, Tony Hunt, Ian Johnson, Alastair Minnis, and Nigel F. Palmer.
