- Description
- Explores aspects of medieval literary studies and Native American studies, including examination of 'the trickster figure" in the works of Chaucer, particularly the GP descriptions and characterizations, and MilT, RvT, SumT, PardT, and ManT. Also "explores Chaucer's deployment of birds in his works, specifically as they embody qualities of the trickster and complicate and even undermine the transmission of language and meaning."
