Description
Assesses the "relationship between reading, space and emotions" in TC, focusing on the two scenes of book reading in the poem. Criseyde's reading in the paved parlor links her with "hermeneutical openness," while Pandarus's feigned reading of an old romance in the bedroom reduces texts to "mere instruments." In German, with English summary.
