Description
A mostly theoretical and philosophical examination of the concept of beginnings in medieval literature, notably in Piers Plowman, as well as grammar, rhetoric, physics, theology and genealogy. Smith focuses on the ways in which texts begin and how the initiative of beginning, heralded as a call for action, is maintained.
