- Description
- Explores the "full sensory expression" in Chaucer's "construction of space," emphasizing the interconnectedness of the five senses in medieval understanding and their ethical dimensions that require proper training to engage volition correctly. Includes observations about these concerns in ParsT, Mel, Bo, SNT, and PF, where the interconnectedness of the senses is an ideal achievable in heavenly places, and dismantled in hellish ones.
