- Description
- Explores analogues to literary voice in late-medieval English political, legal, and Wycliffite discourses, and analyzes the “common voice” found in John’s Gower’s “Vox Clamantis” (“aged wisdom”) and in PF (“self-making” individual sovereignty). Also, comments on voice as theme and technique in works by Thomas Usk and William Langland, and suggests intertextualities of the common voices in various works, particularly Gower’s “Vox” and “Confessio Amantis” and Chaucer’s PF and KnT.
