- Description
- Argues that "Roman de la rose" iconography underlies English conceptions of authorship and "literary self-validation" in MSS of Gower's "Confessio Amantis," "Pearl," and TC (Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 61). The "recombinant iconography" observed in these MSS associates intervisuality with intertextuality, and the TC frontispiece builds on allusions in LGWP to comment on Richard II's reign from the vantage of the Lancastrian period of textual production.
