Mellyagant's Primal Scene; Notes; Indexes; Protagonists, Events, and Selected Medieval Texts; Commentators, Theorists, and Selected Texts; Theoretical ConceptsInsisting on the imaginative multiplicity of the text, Strohm finds in theory an augmentation of interpretive possibilities-an augmentation that sometimes requires respectful disagreement with what a work says-or seems to want known-about itself. Coupled with this strategic disrespect is a new and amplified form of respect-for the text as a meaning-making system, for its unruly power and its unpredictable effects in the world.Medieval cultures ;v. 26.English literatureMiddle English, 1100-1500History and criticismTheory, etcLiterature and historyEnglandHistoryTo 1500Literature and historyEnglandHistory16th centuryHistorical drama, EnglishHistory and criticismCivilization, Medieval, in literatureKings and rulers in literatureRhetoric, MedievalLondon (England)In literatureEnglish literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etc.Literature and historyHistoryLiterature and historyHistoryHistorical drama, EnglishHistory and criticism.Civilization, Medieval, in literature.Kings and rulers in literature.Rhetoric, Medieval.820.9/358Strohm Paul1938-1491053MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784398403321Theory and the premodern text3712600UNINA
