- Description
- Addresses lovesickness in TC, John Gower's "Confessio Amantis," and "The Book of Margery Kempe," considering it "as an embodied and thus imminent process that organizes relationships around culturally defined ideas of either negotiation and mutuality or hierarchy," a trope useful "to think through larger ideas about the relationships of the sexes, of one individual to another, of the individual to society, and of the individual to the divine."
- Chaucer Subjects
- Troilus and Criseyde
