- Diverting Authorities investigates authorial glossing practices in English literature from the late 14th century to approximately 1600. Tracing the emergence of the marginal gloss as a self-consciously literary form, it argues that glossing shapes as well as reflects contemporary ideas of authorship. Working across medieval-renaissance and manuscript-print boundaries, the project required consultation and comparison of a large number of 14th and 15th century manuscripts held in libraries across the UK and in the US as well as of early printed texts; research for the book was carried out over a period of 8 years.
