Publisher Synopsis
This densely detailed monograph combines an exhaustive knowlwdge of the transmission, in both manuscript and print forms, of Chaucerian and Lydgatian texts with a theoretical interest in the status of the author, and authorship, in the late medieval/early Tudor periods... there is ndoubting the author's learning. * English Studies * Readers are firmly in Gillespie's debt for this lucid, detailed, and scrupulous study in which the flight paths in the new culture of print of the two most significant English poets of the medieval period are so admirably charted * Nigel Mortimer Medium AEvum * Gillespie's dexterity in moving between manuscript and print... means for me that this book succeeds best as an introduction to the vast range of ways in which books of all kinds can construct meanings associated with authorship, and as a general discussion of the variety of forms in which 'authors' can be conceived and textually embodied. * Julia Boffey, The Library * ...a sharply focused examination. * Isabel Davis, Times Literary Supplement * at once an intense study ... and a cultural history of an age of religious reform... demands a careful reading [however] the importance of its findings will reward the reader's efforts. * Isabel Davis, TLS * Read more...
