Review
(In Chinese, with English summary.) Su takes on the "idea that Middle English vernacular literature capitalizes on a form of nationhood and identity" by examining "the prefaces of . . . collected texts": Layamon's "Brut," Wace's "Roman de Brut," Lydgate's "Troy Book," Manning's "Chronicle," "Cursor Mundi," and Gower's "Confessio Amantis." The study determines that "the two hundred years of vernacular English literature is found to have a prominent authorial ego which played a significant social role." [RFY. Copyright.
