Texts and the Self in the Twelfth Century (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature) Book

The contention is that the self forged in medieval literature could not have come into existence without the gap between Latinity and the vernacular and the shift in perspective in the twelfth century towards a visual and spatial orientation.Read More
