Book Synopsis Manmade Marvels in Medieval Culture and Literature by : S. Lightsey
Book excerpt: This book examines marvels as tangible objects in the literary, courtly, and artisanal cultures of medieval England, but these clever devices, neither wholly semiotic nor purely positivist objects, are imbued with diverse cultural significance that illuminates in new ways the familiar literature of the Ricardian period.
