'Privitee,' 'Habitus,' and Proximity: Conduct and Domestic Space in Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde
- Published
- Essays in Medieval Studies 24 (2007): 79-91.
- Description
- Examination of social spaces and residential settings that Criseyde inhabits reveals that she is not isolated (as generally argued) until she enters the Greek camp. She conforms to the social expectations, the "habitus," of her social sphere, even as her behavior seems "unforgivable."
