- Description
- Describes Paul C. Doherty's seven murder mysteries based on CT, exploring them as deeply allusive appropriations rather than adaptations, and theorizing how Chaucer-adept readers of this fan fiction can achieve Lacanian jouissance as well as pleasure. Comments on elements of fan fiction in Chaucer's own writing, and describes CT as a "template" for all multi-genre narratives that involve "a group of strangers, travel, and storytelling."
