Derrida's Cat and Nicholas's Study
- Published
- New Medieval Literatures 12 (2010): 155-67.
- Description
- Considers the cat in MilT as a device of demarcation between the domesticity of John's house and the privacy of Nicholas's "elite" study, observing links between this use of an animal as a device with Derrida's contemplations on his cat. Also considers connections between Nicholas's study and that of Petrarch, who treasured his cat enough to mummify it. Includes 5 b&w figs.
