Educational Theory 64.05 (2014): 463-77.

Description
Recognizes the difficulties surrounding modern translations of Chaucer's work and its relation to humanism. Using Nazmi Ǎgıl's Turkish translation of SqT as a test case, argues that studying non-anglophone translations of CT activates both Emily Apter's "translational transnationalism" and Edward Said's "cosmopolitan humanism" to improve an understanding of Chaucer.
