- Studies in the Age of Chaucer 40 (2018): 1-41.
- Description
- Considers the astrolabe as an instrument and Chaucer's Astr as a translation, correlating their "transmedial" features, which provoke "alternate angles of view on instrumentality" and interrogate relations between human and nonhuman epistemologies. Connects these concerns with metaphor and literary mimesis, anthropomorphism, hybridized gender in Astr, "zoomorphic intermediaries" in SqT and HF, and technologies of knowing. Includes 5 b&w illus.
