Bahr, A: Fragments and Assemblages - Forming Compilations of

Zitat

Julia Boffey, Times Literary Supplement "[Bahr's] attractively written, often witty book, informed by a wide range of scholarship, elegantly demonstrates one way of using material form in the service of critical analysis." James Simpson, Harvard University "Arthur Bahr's scholarship is deeply learned and technically skillful, as he invests codicology with the larger promises of formalism. But have no fear: Bahr's prose sparkles with intellectual delicacy, energy, and pleasure. This is scholarship voiced in an especially agreeable and distinctive way. I enjoyed reading Fragments and Assemblages enormously." Maura Nolan, University of California, Berkeley) "An original and creative new account of fourteenth-century writing, one with which all scholars of late-medieval literature will want to engage."
