Silenced but Not Stifled: The Disruptive Queer Power of Chaucer's Pardoner

Description
The Pardoner's "altercation" with the Host "reveals how queer power disarms heteronormativity." In GP and PardPT, the Pardoner does not fit modern categories of "gay" or "bisexual"; his queerness is aligned with several forms of verbal and social power.
