- Description
- Argues that the concern with reading and liberation in the BBC television version of KnT is "reflexive," mirroring the goals of the six-part series. The series' goal of "freeing" readers from "academic Chaucer" is paralleled by efforts to liberate the episode's male protagonists through education, but both are undercut by circular logic.
