Description
Accounts for the "strangeness" of KnT, cataloguing various theoretical and interpretative approaches, beginning with Charles Muscatine's scholarly contributions and ending with Elizabeth Scala's "Desire in the Canterbury Tales." Links each of these approaches, in spite of their differences, with the formalist concerns of KnT and its differences from the "Thebaid" and the "Teseida."
