- Description
- Intersectional analysis discloses that MLT, John Gower's Tale of Constance, and "The King of Tars" cast out "non-Christian bodies from the possibilities of reproductive futurism" and "offer visions of Christian imperialist futures enacted and made possible through the bodies of their heroines." By foregrounding a "hegemonic world order," they allow us "to see the true monstrosity of their imagined futures."
