The Dynamics of Law in the 'Clerk's Tale'
- Published
- Chaucer Yearbook 4 (1997): 49-59.
- Description
- ClT is neither an affirmation of traditional hierarchies nor a critique of them, but rather an exploration of the ways individuals interact with social, marital, and spiritual authority. Michel de Certeau's notions of "intextuation" and "incarnation" help explain how ClT "represents the subject's continuing struggle for definition in a world where identity is not fixed but produced through interaction."
