Using examples and theories from new media studies, Higl demonstrates that the Tales are best viewed as an 'interactive fiction.' Readers participated in the on-going creation and production of the tales by adding new text, rearranging existing text, and through this textual transmission, introduced new social and literary meaning to the work.English poetryEarly modern, 1500-1700Manuscripts, English (Middle)English poetryManuscripts, English (Middle)821/.1Higl Andrew.1526874MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781444403321Playing the Canterbury tales3769255UNINA
