Examines Chaucer&#039;s &quot;litel book,&quot; addressed in TC, as a &quot;sentient artifact&quot; and as a &quot;remediation&quot; of its source in Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filostrato&quot; and  ancient tradition.]]></dcterms:description>

Shakespeare&#039;s play effects similar audience identification in Pandarus&#039;s Epilogue, implicating the audience in Pandarus&#039;s ongoing &quot;reduction of sexuality to commodification.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
