Description
Explores intersections between the "new formalism" and the close study of the formal features of late-medieval manuscripts, surveying recent scholarship and focusing on analyses of Chaucer's Adam and the scribe Adam Pinkhurst. These analyses exemplify the "possibilities and problems" of formalist study and manuscript study.
