- Description
- Analyzes the "Legend of Dido" in LGW to reveal how narrative serves as a "cognitive tool for shaping worldviews" held within cultural communities. Discusses the "cognitive-cultural underpinnings" and strategies Chaucer uses to tell a fragmentary version of the Dido and Aeneas narrative. Examines how Chaucer’s "epistemic stance" influences the expression of selected social-cultural categories in the story.
