Stealing Shives: "Titus Andronicus" as Chaucerian Anti-Romance.
- Published
- Comparative Drama 55 (2021): 185-210.
- Description
- Identifies narrative, linguistic, and thematic similarities between Chaucer's KnT, MilT, and RvT and Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus," and argues that the brutal treatment of Lavinia in Shakespeare's play resonates with the aspects of courtly love depicted and refracted in Chaucer's three tales and in TC, thereby "blurring the lines" between "violent 'Roman'" and "courtly' Romance.'"
