More about the book

Exploring the interplay between historical and literary texts from fourteenth-century England, Paul Strohm's essays reveal how narrative and documentary sources, while fictional, hold significant historical value. He initiates a dialogue between texts and events, emphasizing the importance of context in understanding historical documents. Through analyses of legal records, Chaucer, Froissart, and Usk, Strohm critiques the nature of textuality, urging readers to reconsider the boundaries between "invented" and "true." This thought-provoking collection invites a deeper engagement with the complexities of historical interpretation.
