Description
Argues that medieval English literature in general, and Chaucer's poetry in particular, is primarily a product of a cross-cultural and multilingual experience. Compares multilingualism in Chinese with aspects of medieval English culture, and questions reception of Chaucer's "English" for non-English medieval speakers.
