- Description
- Traces "the afterlife of the 'Romance of the Rose' in fourteenth-century England, arguing that the RR "exercised its influence on fourteenth-century English literature in two principal ways": 1) "the development of a self-reflexive focus on how meaning is produced and transmitted" and 2) concern with authorial intention and "responsibility for the meaning of a text." Includes attention to Bo, PhyT, HF, LGWP, and Rom, as well as works by Langland, Gower, the Gawain¬¬-poet, and select fifteenth century authors.
