Description
Identifies where "[a]cross his writings . . . Chaucer treats mind, body, and affect in sophisticated ways that go far beyond convention," focusing particularly on lovelorn knights in BD, KnT, and TC, and swooning women in ClT, MLT, and LGW. Argues that classical and medieval medical theory can "enrich current clinical understandings" of mind-body connections in medical humanities.
