- Description
- Explores the "tensions" between the narrator and "author-subject" of TC, assessing how (as in other medieval works) the author's "signature" is found within the narrative rather than in its paratext. Such embedded signatures are characteristic of pre-print literature, as is uncertainty about authority.
