- Description
- Shows that the BBC television adaptation of PardPT concentrates more on sexual predation than on death, and argues that this eliminates both the sexual and the contextual queerness of Chaucer's original, which requires of its audience "rigorously trained self-awareness that its contextual queerness makes difficult or impossible to feel secure in."
