- Description
- Ecocritical examination of "heavy atmosphere" as an environmental state, an affective state, and/or a narrative tone or "feel" in several of Chaucer’s narratives, with focus on RvT, TC, and KnT. Explores parallels between medieval cosmology, humoral theory, and modern ecocritical awareness to trace the interconnectivities of elemental, emotional, and diegetic effects.
