Episode 2 - Fowles in the Frith
How do we determine the meaning of a work which has no author? And what responsibility is there in authoring our own interpretation?
We examine the potential meanings of this poem, dig at length into the different ideas of medieval authorship, and find we may have not have wandered yet that far, at all.
Foweles in the frith,
The fisses in the flod,
And I mon waxe wod.
Sulch sorw I walke with
For beste of bon and blod.
