| Summary: | The essays in this collection define the parameters of present-day Auchinleck studies. They scrutinize the manuscript's rich and varied contents, reopen theories and controversies regarding the book's making, trace the operations and interworkings of the scribes, compiler and illuminators, tease out matters of patron and audience, interpret the contested signs of linguistic and national identity and assess Auchinleck's implied literary values beside those of Chaucer. Geography, politics, international relations and multilingualism become pressing subjects, too, alongside critical analyses of literary substance. |
