Book Synopsis Palimpsests and the Literary Imagination of Medieval England by : Tatjana Silec
Book excerpt: Witnesses to the disappearance of a text, palimpsest manuscripts bear the marks of their own genesis, with their original inscription rubbed out and written over on the same parchment. This collection explores analogies of erasure and rewriting observed in editorial and literary practices underlying the production of texts from medieval England.
