Description
Provides a survey of translations and appropriations of CT. Examines four translations of CT—Afrikaans, Turkish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Mandarin Chinese—and argues how these global Chaucers enhance understanding of CT. Also examines works, including Luk Bey's comic book adaptation of MilT, that blur the line between translation and appropriation.
