- Description
- Interprets red-ink underlining of lovers' and birds' names in the text of PF in Bodley 638 and Fairfax 16 as a "visual appeal to memory" that activates pedagogical frameworks of language acquisition from medieval grammar school curricula. Viewing these MS notations as "virtual lemmata" establishes the prospect of a "mental commentary" performed on Chaucer's text by fifteenth-century gentry readers and encouraged by PF's bookish persona.
