- Description
- Traces from Chaucer (MLT) to Shakespeare ("Othello") to Milton ("Samson Agonistes") a "literary tradition that seeks to understand England's place on [the] international stage." Identifies the economic/political models that underlie Custance's two marriages: imperial slavery in the first, "the Mediterranean’s thriving mercantile" economy in the second--with the two linked by Custance's association with boats and Alla's "strikingly Islamic name."
