- Description
- Analyzes "how English and Scottish literature and law during the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries connected the figure of the tapster to sex work, transgression, public harm, and dangerous agency over men," and traces residue of this misogyny in modern "breastaurants" (e.g., Hooters). Includes discussion of the "Canterbury Interlude" that precedes the apocryphal "Tale of Beryn."
