Description
Views the BBC television version of MLT as an exploration of the simultaneities of past, present, and future, interrelated with motifs of amnesia, immigration, political struggle, religious warfare, and the "correlation of spiritual and sexual desire"--many of which are, more or less, "latent" concerns of Chaucer's tale.
