- Description
- Reviews and extends arguments for recognizing the intertextual relations of Chaucer's LGW and the works of Guillaume de Machaut, emphasizing their explorations of the "poetics of authorship." Extends this notion to the fiction of Philip Roth and suggests that such self-consciousness derives from the "cultural moment" of authorial celebrity that enables these writers--medieval and modern--to explore and exploit "textual second lives" in their narratives.
