Bringing together her essays on Chaucer, the Gawain-poet, and Malory, the collection foregrounds the common interest in the semantic implications of key vocabulary such as "authority," "adventure," and "price" that links them together.Mann, one of the finest critics of Middle English literature in her generation, uses the concepts suggested by the language of medieval literature itself as a way into the masterpieces of Middle English, including The Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and the Morte Darthur.An extended introduction by Mark Rasmussen brings out the nature of the themes that run through the collection, analyses the critical methods in play, and assesses their significance in the context of Middle English studies over the last thirty years. 650 0 $a English literature $y Middle English, 1100-1500 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y Middle English, 1100-1500 $x Semantics. 650 0 $a Literature, Medieval $x Themes, motives. 600 10 $a Chaucer, Geoffrey, $d -1400 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Chaucer, Geoffrey, $d -1400 $x Language. 630 00 $a Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. 600 00 $a Gawain $c (Legendary character) $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Arthurian romances $x History and criticism. 600 10 $a Malory, Thomas, $c Sir, $d active 15th century $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Malory, Thomas, $c Sir, $d active 15th century $x Language. 700 1 $a Rasmussen, Mark David, $d 1953- 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171221040732.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A769D8C63F011E4A4D39B8FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
