- Description
- Examines connection between "language and cultural identity" and claims that Chaucer mocks "Alexander's 'storie' as 'commune' "in MkT. Analyzes how Latin, French, and English Alexander narratives were read, and rewritten, in medieval literature between 1150 and 1350, providing a "multilingual and comparative approach" to understanding modern studies of medieval Alexander literature.
