Recenzje

'A genuinely interdisciplinary achievement, Middle English Mouths will be of great value equally to literary scholars interested especially in Langland's Piers Plowman, scholars of medieval medicine and science (including multisenoriality), Christianity and soteriology, speech and song, vernacular theology and intellectual history.' Sarah Star, Medium Ævum
