| description | This chapter shakes up critical understanding of narrative voice in text and image of Machaut’s dits.

Miniatures devised for the jugement poems are a particularly rich resource for analyzing this mobility being exploited by artists to draw attention to issues of narrative framing, communication and point of view – including, crucially, the point of view of the manuscript’s reader/viewer. |
