- Description
- Delany explores the "imbrication" of life and art in PrT and the expulsion of Jews from France in 1394. She gauges Chaucer's contact with Jews and describes the conditions under which Jews lived in fourteenth-century France, specifically the results of the supposed abduction of Denis Machaut, a Jewish convert to Christianity. Delany identifies elements that PrT shares with history rather than what it shares with literary analogues.
