Description
Argues that Chaucer's texts engage translation as a political tool. Rom indicates a balance of resistance to France and outreach to its cultural products; Bo can be read as suspicious of royal power during the late Ricardian period; and ClT demonstrates how translation (as in the propagandistic translation of Griselda) can be a means of "consolidating" power.
