- Description
- Explores "the practice of translation from French into English in medieval England, and how the translators themselves viewed their task," including discussion of LGWP as Chaucer's "self-aware, playful" analysis of the factors complicating translation. Also considers SNP in the context of "nun translators in later medieval England," suggesting that it poses an "intriguing, additional perspective," complicated by ambiguous markers of oral and written delivery.
