Abstract

ABSTRACT This article explores the ideo-political background of the so-called ‘New Philology’ by looking closely at some works by its ‘founding fathers’, Bernard Cerquiglini and Stephen G. Nichols. It addresses the tendency among adherents of ‘New Philology’ to downplay authorial intention in medieval works and to reject basic principles of textual criticism.
