- Description
- Explores the possibilities of "transhistorical feeling" for assessing what "Chaucer's 'persone', and especially his face" mean to "post-medieval audiences." Argues that "intersubjective" perception of "geniality" in visual and verbal Chaucer portraits--medieval to modern--is crucial to his "afterlife," citing numerous examples, and
exploring in detail the depictions of Chaucer in Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1972 film "I racconti di Canterbury" and Bill Bailey's performance as Chaucerian narrator in "Pubbe Gagge," part of his 2001 "Bewilderness" tour.
