- Description
- Set in "a sort of suburban underworld," SNT and CYT treat "subtle threats" to the established values and ideologies of the city. For Chaucer, "the potential for growth and change...lay beyond the comfortably reassuring town walls in the suburban tenements of those who were by choice and necessity outsiders."
- Reprinted in Reading the Past: Essays on Medieval and RenaissanceLiterature (Four Courts, 1996), pp. 128-45.
