Analysis is devoted not only to self-sufficient works, but to the general conditions of textual production and reception. 410 0$aOxford handbooks online 410 0$aOxford twenty-first century approaches to literature. 606 $aEnglish literature$yMiddle English, 1100-1500$xHistory and criticism 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y1066-1485 608 $aHandbooks and manuals.$2lcgft 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9/001 702 $aStrohm$b Paul$f1938- 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957080603321 996 $aMiddle English$94018151 997 $aUNINA
