Description
Examines "the paratextual, literary, historical, and physical ways print books serve as brokers of authority," including discussion of how William Caxton, in his editions of Chaucer, "inaugurates the printer as a necessary intermediary between the reader and a spiritually authentic Chaucer" and "instantiates printers as necessary mediators who provide readers an authentic, vivid, and accessible Chaucer."
