Description
Maintains that attention to speech and silence is crucial to literary analysis and to understanding medieval notions of gender difference, exemplifying how the speech/silence binary can be explored in complex ways to help analyze rape as a plot device in classroom discussions of MilT, RvT, WBP, the Lucrece and Philomena accounts in LGW, and Chaucer’s biography
