Theory And The Premodern Text (Volume 26)

by Paul Strohm

Strohen's collection of 13 papers, most published here for the first time, aims to reunite literary theory with the text and proposes a form of `practical theory' which places the text at the centre of analysis and allows the text a relationship with the outside world. From this refreshing perspective and in well-written and often light-hearted prose, Stohn reassesses works of dissent, notably by Lollards, Chaucerian narrative, chronicles, Shakespearean characterisation and the relationship between medieval studies and psychoanalysis.
