Description
Describes uses of "iconic extant narratives" in twenty-first-century refugee writing, using CT as a "key and core example," and focusing on how it adds "to the ethical potential" of three volumes of "Refugee Tales" (2016, 2018, and 2019) edited by David Herd and Anna Pincus, and Patience Agbabi’s "Telling Tales" (2014), a "modern-day remix" of Chaucer's poem.
