- Description
- Examines an "uncanny chain of othering" whereby the GP description of the Prioress, the PrP, and PrT associate the Prioress with Jews through imagery of sensuality and filth. Also explores how this association reflects the "fears and fantasies" of dominant, male Christian attempts--and failures--to define self against these others.
