Anti-Maternal Rewriting in Ryder: Djuna Barnes's Feminist Twist on Chaucer.
- Description
- Argues that in her experimental novel "Ryder," Djuna Barnes wrote "under the influence of Chaucer by employing a similar style," that her "use of glosses" in Chapter 10 "demonstrates an intertextuality" with CT, and that in Chapter 22 she "rewrites a portion” of PrT, adding a "feminist twist."
