- Description
- Chaucer deploys his "appropriations of the culture of heresy with versatility" in ABC, LGWP, and CT (Pardoner, Friar, Summoner, Monk, and Parson). Fletcher measures these appropriations against the shifting political fortunes of Lollardy in Chaucer's lifetime to reflect upon the difficulties of reading biography through literature.
