- Published
- Exemplaria 7 (1995): 75-92.
- Description
- Both PardT and the Pardoner's interruption of the Wife in WBT are "touches of the queer" that temporarily denaturalize heterosexual subjectivity, revealing its performative nature.
- "Heteronormativity" is reinscribed in the romance discourse of WBT and in the Host's silencing of the Pardoner after his "Tale."
- Chaucer Subjects
- Pardoner and His Tale.
