Description
Knight calls for a critical confrontation with the semiotics of place in Chaucer, commenting on a number of topographical references in Chaucer's works, suggesting closer examination of implications of places to which Chaucer traveled (especially Genoa) and noting underexplored claims of association with Chaucer in modern tourist sites.
