Editorial Reviews

"Ralph Hanna has no peer in Middle English textual studies. . . . This is a wholly original and exciting work, unlike any other available from any book or scholar I know of."—Anne Middleton, University of California, Berkeley

"This book is important and valuable for many kinds of readers. . . . Hanna challenges us to participate in the textual mapping of manuscript culture in England before Chaucer was canonized as the center. . . . The volume also has tremendous potential for introducing our students to manuscript culture."—Envoi
