**Jessica Brantley** This course investigates the relation between manuscript studies and traditional literary criticism. It includes an introduction to working with medieval manuscripts (no prior experience required) and continues with a series of case studies that ask what thinking about manuscripts can contribute to literary scholarship. Manuscripts to be considered include the Ellesmere Chaucer, the Douce 104 Piers Plowman, the Vernon MS (a devotional miscellany), the Book of Brome (a household miscellany), the York Register (cycle drama), and Cotton Nero A.x. (the Gawain-poet). *Graduate Course*
