Remembering Boethius : Writing Aristocratic Identity in Late Medieval French and English Literatures

Remembering Boethius proposes a complex thesis about the medieval reception history of Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy and its role in mediating late-medieval experiences of exile and imprisonment that demanded analysis of a considerable body of material in French and English.
