520    "In Fragments and Assemblages, Arthur Bahr expands the 
       ways in which we interpret medieval manuscripts, examining
       the formal characteristics of both physical manuscripts 
       and literary works. Specifically, Bahr argues that 
       manuscript compilations from fourteenth-century London 
       reward interpretation as both assemblages and fragments: 
       as meaningfully constructed objects whose codicological 
       forms and textual contents shed light on the city's 
       literary, social, and political cultures, but also as 
       artifacts whose physical fragmentation invites forms of 
       literary criticism that were unintended by their medieval 
       makers. Such compilations are not simply repositories of 
       data to be used for the reconstruction of the distant 
       past; their physical forms reward literary and aesthetic 
       analysis in their own right. The compilations analyzed 
       reflect the full vibrancy of fourteenth-century London's 
       literary cultures: the multilingual codices of Edwardian 
       civil servant Andrew Horn and Ricardian poet John Gower, 
       the famous Auchinleck manuscript of texts in Middle 
       English, and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. By reading these 
       compilations as both formal shapes and historical 
       occurrences, Bahr uncovers neglected literary histories 
       specific to the time and place of their production. The 
       book offers a less empiricist way of interpreting the 
       relationship between textual and codicological form that 
       will be of interest to a wide range of literary critics 
       and manuscript scholars."--book jacket.
