- Description
- Explores how writers and audiences in medieval England "approached textually constructed audiences," considering evidence from rhetorical theory, readers' comments, and "signs of adaptation undertaken by authors, correctors, and scribes." Concentrates on confessional manuals and religious instruction, but includes comments on CT and the ways it depicts "narrators grappling" with diverse audiences, particularly in MilP and CYT.
