Chaucer's Uncanny Regionalism: Rereading the North in 'The Reeve's Tale'

Journal of English and Germanic Philology 109 (2010): 468-89.

Description
In RvT, Chaucer's references to language, lore, and the North both explore uncanny (in the Freudian sense) political differences among regions and reveal notions of nation. The North or Northernism plays a small but significant role elsewhere in CT, particularly in MLT.
