Bøger af Lawrence (King's College London) Warner

The importance of scribes in the production of Chaucer's poetry has become increasingly apparent. Challenging widely accepted narratives and conclusions of recent scholarship through meticulously detailed argument, Lawrence Warner delivers an important intervention in the field of Middle English studies.

Lawrence Warner explores the history of the production and reception of the great medieval poem, Piers Plowman. He examines the many ways in which scholars, editors and critics manufactured an archive, over 500 years, which was then regarded as providing factual data about the poem.
