- Description
- Describes "medieval approaches to vision, to the relations between text and image and to ekphrasis" before assessing KnT as Chaucer's critique of "attempts to essentialise and keep separate different media and genres, especially the verbal and the visual." Focuses on the temples, Emily's ablutions, and the tournament battle.
