- Description
- Shows "how the frequent conflation between anger and revenge has shaped the representations of what we might call anger management in early English literature," from representative Old English works to Shakespeare. Two chapters focusing on Mel, ClT, KnT, and the tale-telling contest "explore how the discourses of patience and games are deployed to manage anger. Here, we can see how evaluation, as a principle of revenge, is strategically targeted by both discourses, each seeking to shift evaluatory frameworks."
