Description
Combines traditional literary Chaucerian scholarship with innovative ways of looking at the material culture of medieval texts and early modern drama. Focuses on how Chaucer plays with time, "temporal circularity," and textual history. Includes analysis of the Ellesmere MS, the Pardoner's "body movement" in PardT, and time in TC and HF. Compares Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with KnT.
