- Description
- Studies the development of "poetic self-assertions" and "authorship poetics" in late medieval poetry, concentrating on Guillaume de Machaut's influence on Chaucer in LGWP and on Christine de Pizan. Comments on the legacies of Dante, Petrarch, and others, and explores the functions of literary personae; mirror imagery and mise en abîme effects; patronage; political contexts; books as objects; and private reading in the growth of the "cultural capital" of the poetic self, an aspect of rising humanism.
