- Description
- Offers documentary evidence that roads, markets, and taverns were "conduits for and symbols of” class mobility/motility and rebellious tidings in post-Uprising medieval England, especially in Kent and on the Canterbury road. Against this background, Chaucer's CT "are expressions of individual agency . . . that cumulatively constitute a discourse of insurgency" and engage the "ideological space" of the Uprising of 1381.
