- Description
- Explores how aspects of Chaucer's works reflect Britishness, Englishness, internationalism, and cosmopolitanism--a "potentially conflicted and unresolved matrix of possibilities" (p. 213). Identifies links and resonances between Chaucer's narratives and the ebb and flow of cultural influences, political events, and literary forms and fashions, with attention to "translatio imperii," sovereignty, nationhood, selfhood, and violence.
