- 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.
