"Witnesses to the disappearance of a text, palimpsest manuscripts bear the marks of
their own genesis, for their original inscription was rubbed out and written over
on the same parchment. Erasure is a prerequisite of reinscription; destruction paves
the way for renewal. Thus the palimpsest is an image of the processes of revision
and accretion which shape medieval literary production. This collection explores analogies
of erasure and rewriting observed in editorial and literary practices underlying the
production of texts from medieval England. Whether palimpsests are the primary focus
of study or serve as a metaphor for various phenomena of loss and accumulation, all
the essays investigate the process of reinscription. "--Provided by publisher.
