This book investigates how subjectivity is encoded in the texts of
a wide variety of medieval narratives and lyrics - not how they
express the subjectivity of individuals, but how subjectivity,
escaping the bounds of individuality, is incorporated in the
linguistic fabric of their texts. Most of the poems discussed are
in English, and the book includes analyses of Chaucer's Troilus and
Criseyde, Man of Law's Tale, and Complaint Unto Pity, the works of
the Pearl poet, Havelok the Dane, the lyric sequence attributed to
Charles of Orleans (the earliest such sequence in English), and
many anonymous poems. It also devotes sections to Ovid's Heroides
and to poems by the troubadour Bernart de Ventadorn. For the first
time, it brings to bear on medieval narratives and lyrics a body of
theory which denies the supposed necessity for literary texts to
have narrators or 'speakers', and in doing so reveals the
implausibilities into which a dogmatic assumption of this necessity
has led much of the last century's criticism.
