- Published
- Studies in the Age of Chaucer 28 (2006): 141-74.
- Description
- Explores links between privacy and urban spaces in Fragment 1 of CT, especially MilT, in which each of the major male characters fails to control his own "pryvetee." The article follows Pierre Bourdieu in conceptualizing the practices of privacy as a developing "habitus," exploring concerns with bodies, buildings, commerce, estate, and class competition among the characters and tellers of Part 1.
