- Description
- Examines the arrangement and composition of two of the booklets of the Findern manuscript (Cambridge University Library, MS Ff.1.6) for the ways they may be seen as "the record of interactions within the community of readers and scribes who had access to it" (161), suggesting similarities with internet blogging. Includes comments on the location and presentation of several works by Chaucer: the legend of Thisbe from LGW, Anelida’s Complaint from Anel, and The Complaint of Venus.
