Leading critic Alastair Minnis investigates the relationships between authority and the vernacular in a range of texts from late medieval England. The significance of 'vernacularity' is discussed with reference to court patronage of literature, textual commentary, heretical doctrine, and tales of suspicious saints and relics.
