Essays in the Numerical Criticism of Medieval LiteratureCaroline D. Eckhardt Bucknell University Press, 1979 - Broj stranica: 239 The essays in this collection are attempts to understand medieval aesthetic principles and products, not to champion the numerical approach. All the essays share a confidence that when Chaucer, for example, wrote alle thynges been ordeyned and nombred, he was enunciating a philosophical and aesthetic principle of fundamental importance to medieval thought. |
