An exploration of
autobiographical identity in a group of late medieval 'prison texts'.
Despite the seminal nature of Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy during
the Middle Ages, the legacy of the figure of the writer in prison has
not been examined before. The book discusses the interrelation of
subjectivity, historicity, autobiography, and imprisonment, and should
appeal to scholars in the burgeoning field of fifteenth century studies.

'The Kingis Quair' 3 Charles d'Orléans and his 'English Book of
Love' 4 The 'Testimony' of William Thorpe and the 'Trial' of Richard
