Description
Traces "gendered protocols of violence that have been inherited through literary interpretive practices as they are represented in Chaucer's corpus.” Argues that “acts of reading, writing, and translation can function as forms of violence in medieval literature." Focuses on ClT, PhyT, ManT, and TC, with a chapter on pedagogical applications.
