Literary individualism first manifests itself in the twelfth
century in word puzzles and overt self-naming, as well as in
discussions about the nature of writing and the role of the poet in
the world. Guillem IX, Marcabru, Dante, Chaucer, and Langland were
poets and intellectuals. This engaging study traces their claims of
authorship, not to a need for what modernity views as
self-promotion, but rather to their interests in contemporary
philosophical debates. Yet in their creations of both history and
fiction, these poets anticipated modern narrative and its literary
persona.
