Devani Singh

Opis

This is the first extended study of the reception of Chaucer's medieval manuscripts in the early modern period.

Recenzje

'Devani Singh reveals how extensively early modern readers engaged with Chaucer's works. This is an important contribution to debates about periodisation. Singh's elegant study underlines the importance of the manuscript book in the age of print, and will increase awareness of the continuities in literary consumption across the period 1400–1600.' Margaret Connolly, University of St Andrews
