Title
"When a Stranger Sojourns With You in Your Land": Loving the Refugee as Neighbor in the "Canterbury Tales" and "RefugeeTales.”

Published
Exemplaria 32.3 (2020): 248-68.

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."
