O knihe

Medieval assumptions about the nature of the representation involved in literary and historical narratives were widely different from our own. Writers and readers worked with a complex understanding of the relations between truth and convention, in which accounts of presumed fact could be expanded, embellished, or translated in a variety of accepted ways. Ruth Morses challenging and wide-ranging book explores how these assumptions operated in a broad range of genres, including romance, history, and biography. In reconstructing medieval habits of reading and writing, it raises far-reaching questions about language and representation.
