Lawrence Warner

Opis

Important intervention in Middle English studies that challenges widely accepted narratives on the identities of Chaucer's scribes.

Recenzje

'Warner’s detail oriented and carefully developed analysis of the evidence for scribal culture in medieval London is a healthy challenge to our field and an encouragement to all of us who do not consider ourselves 'paleographers' to get down and dirty with manuscripts - digitized or not - and draw our own conclusions about the evidence we find.' Noelle Phillips, Studies in the Age of Chaucer
