Physical Description
[10 pp.]

Description
Explores the tension between "solaas" and "sentence" in three features of NPT (its representations of humans and non-humans, its reference to the Uprising of 1381, and its gender politics), investigating the importance of the rhetoric of the Tale in interpreting the relative seriousness of these concerns. Includes several classroom projects and questions for discussion.
