- Description
- Considers cities as a "mode of thought" for critical analysis, describing a walk-through pedestrian perspective and a from-on-high omniscient perspective in late-medieval English works that include "The Stores of the Cities," "St. Erkenwald," and HF, the latter paralleled with Michel de Certeau's theorization in "Marches dans la ville." Also comments on the critical tradition of absent London in CT. Explores how these perspectives and others capitalize on the complexities of cities to suggest new "critical modes and processes" across and between literary, historical, and theoretical boundaries.
