Sadism and Sentimentality: Absorbing Antisemitism in Chaucer's Prioress

- ChauR 43 (2008): 197-214.
- Description
- Read as symptoms of a "childlike" individual "dealing with a number of psychosexual developmental issues," the Prioress's personal habits and narrative performance register anxiety not only about boundaries of the individual human body but also about "the dangerous porosity of religious, social, and community identity that it represents."
