- Description
- Focusing on the relationship between images of violence in PrT and real history, critics seek to redress history's ills. Recent readings reflect professional and institutional assumptions. While not "de-historicizing" PrT, critics may "re-contextualize the Prioress, in both teaching and scholarship, into the literary world" of CT.
