- Description
- Identifies connections among "war, narrative, and literary technique" in TC to show "how Chaucer constructs . . . siege as a dynamic space in which to imagine the forces that shape and determine human behaviour." Chaucer "reconfigures the idea of a military and political siege," exploring how Troilus and Criseyde are entrapped, and depicting how Pandarus engineers their relationship using methods that mirror "the strategies deployed in siege warfare."
