- Description
- Deeply engaged with literary tradition and the dynamics of translation, TC resists "the patriarchal biases of the founding myth the narrator transmits to us." It "denaturalizes the masculine literary corpus" by revealing the "radical contingency of textuality" and the "homosocial orchestration of identity through exchange."
- Chaucer Subjects
- Troilus and Criseyde.
