The Public Self and the Social Author in Late Medieval England

Beschreibung

Reassess medieval literature and the relationship between writers and power in England by arguing that major works commissioned by or written for a succession of Lancastrians¿Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, and Prince Edward¿reveal that John Gower, Thomas Hoccleve, John Lydgate, and John Fortescue were not propagandists.
