Chaucer and the Subject of Bureaucracy

- Exemplaria 19 (2007): 39-66.
- Description
- Scholars such as Sheila Delany, Derek Pearsall, and Thomas Frederick Tout have used bureaucratic records of Chaucer - and records of Chaucer as bureaucrat - to construct subjective portraits of the poet. Mead explores the processes of "reading" bureaucracy that produce partial, provisional, and subjective visions of a historical Chaucer.
