Damaged Goods: Merchandise, Stories and Gender in Chaucer's "Man of Law's Tale."
- Published
- New Medieval Literatures 17 (2017): 115-49.
- Description
- Explores medieval analogies between "storytelling and merchandizing" and how both relate to gender in MLT, clarifying connections between the travel narrative, its rhetoric, and the poverty prologue, and commenting on source and analogue relations. Also links the "aversion to incest" in MLP with "anxieties about poetic property," attributing the latter to Chaucer rather than to the Man of Law.
