- Description
- Explores what Chaucer's romances "say about . . . individuality and identity," interpreting spaces, movements, and characters' perception of them in KnT for how they "delimit" behaviors even though these limitations are disrupted by individual desires and actions. Also assesses key spaces in WBT (marriage bed), FranT (Brittany coast and garden entrance), SqT (falcon's "park"), and Th (thematic vacuum), and suggests that the topic can help in categorizing romances.
