| The Voice of the Hammer: The Meaning of Work in Medieval English Literature. By Nicola Masciandaro. Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 2007. Pp. xii + 210. $25 (paper). The Voice of the Hammer should be retitled the Voice of the Stylus. From the first paragraph Nicola Masciandaro makes it clear that this "is not labor's voice as the self-expression of medieval laborers," rather it is about the literary representation of work in the poetry of late fourteenth-century England, and the role given to work in the construction of the self.
