Description
Uses the term "narrator" as a technical term to refer to "the contours of the narratorial functions and the textual voice as these are inscribed," focusing on "expansion of narratorial functions" in fifteenth-century English hagiography. Includes discussion of the increasing role of the "prologue or proëmium," with attention to the limits of narratorial "voice" in PrP and SNP and to Chaucer’s stylistic influence on Lydgate.
