- Description
- Opens with an account of teaching PrT in comparison with Patience Agbabi's adaptation of it in "Telling Tales" (2015), helping to introduce the goal of the entire volume: promoting resistance to racist, xenophobic, and homophobic distortions and misuses of medieval culture and medievalisms. Chapter 6, "Pilgrimage: Chaucerian Poets of Color in Motion," examines the "relationship between race and transit in works by Chaucerian poets of color"--Agbabi, Jean "Binta" Breeze, Marilyn Nelson, Frank Mundo,
and Ouyang Yu--in their adaptations of CT.
