Description
Treats as "neighboring texts" Chaucer's account of Pedro I of Castile and Leon (MkT 7..2375-90) and that of Pere Lopez de Ayala in "Cronica del rey don Pedro," theorizing the notion of "neighbor"; exploring the inclusions, omissions, and enigmas of the two texts; clarifying the political conditions underlying these depictions; and investigating the ethical dimensions of them as ambiguous historicizations.
