- Description
- Traces attitudes toward and depictions of anarchy and apocalypse in medieval political and penitential traditions, suggesting that they can be associated with communalism as well as with disruption, then and now. Includes comments on Chaucer's (and Gower's) allusions to the Revolt of 1381 as views from an elite perspective.
