- Description
- Treats "the operations and qualities of fictional minds" in ClT, "as well as the narrative means through which they are conveyed," examining Griselda, Walter, and the "group consciousness" of the Saluzzan people in light of "modern cognitive sciences," and arguing that Chaucer rejects the mind–body dualism of the "internalist" view of cognition in favor of one that emphasizes the "intermental" interdependence of mind and social environment.
