- Description
- Assesses relations between the "idealizing tendencies" of formalist literary studies and the practicalities of studies in book history, reading PF as a "Chaucerian theory of the book" that is similar to the theory of Maurice Blanchot. Explores how a manicule at PF 518 in manuscript Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Bodley 638 (along with a pun on "foule literature " at PF 517) points the way to future study of "the disruptive and changeful work that literature does in the world."
