V. Greene & Kenneth A. Loparo 
The Medieval Author in Medieval French Literature 

Thirty-five years ago Roland Barthes proclaimed the death of the Author. For medievalists no death has been more timely. The essays in this volume create a prism through which to understand medieval authorship as a process and the medieval author as an agency in the making.
