Gentrification and the 'Troilus'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 28 (1994): 305-29.
- Description
- In TC, Chaucer uses not only sophisticated, upper-class materials but also lower-class matter that has "moved 'upward' into the most prestigious and learned layers of medieval discourse." This "gentrification" can best be seen in Chaucer's use of legends, charms, curses, oaths, and proverbs.
