- Description
- Studies the “narratological representation of the non-normative exemplarity of facial pallor" in Chaucer's poetry, exploring associations of facial paleness with facial expressions and emotional reactions, contrasting paleness with blushing, and commenting on gender emphases in examples drawn from BD, CT, and TC. Emphasizes the importance of readers’ familiarity with the phenomenon.
