Description
Nine essays by various authors and an introduction by the editors "look beyond the absolute horizon of Marxist historicism in ways that display concern with how we know, with the limits of our knowledge, and with ourselves as presumably knowing subjects." Recurrent topics include psychoanalytic approaches, gender studies, new ways of reading historically, and seeking a (re)new(ed) respect for medieval studies. For five essays that pertain to Chaucer directly, search for The Post-Historical Middle Ages under Alternative Title.
