- Description
- Uses a "political theology of the refugee as neighbor" to explore contiguities between "Refugee Tales" (2016) and CT. Explicates nuances of "tendre/"tender" in the works and examines the absent presence of Theban refugees in KnT. The Knight "edits out the nasty bits of warfare" and chivalry--evident by contrast with Boccaccio's "Teseida"--and reveals "repressive tendencies that betrays anxiety over the residue of bare life."
