This volume collects fifteen landmark essays published over the
last three decades by the distinguished medievalist Jill Mann.
Bringing together her essays on Chaucer, the Gawain-poet, and
Malory, the collection foregrounds the common interest in the
semantic implications of key vocabulary such as "authority,"
"adventure," and "price" that links them together.
Mann, one of the finest critics of Middle English literature in
her generation, uses the concepts suggested by the language of
medieval literature itself as a way into the masterpieces of Middle
English, including The Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde, Sir
Gawain and the Green Knight, and the Morte Darthur.
An extended introduction by Mark Rasmussen brings out the nature
of the themes that run through the collection, analyses the
critical methods in play, and assesses their significance in the
context of Middle English studies over the last thirty years.
