Description
Reviews translations of MilT from the eighteenth century forward, and offers a "translatological analysis" of four twentieth-and twenty-first-century versions, focusing on the sexual attitudes and activities in the plot and on the lexicons used by Chaucer and his translators, suggesting that amelioration and expurgation have been excessive.
