- Description
- Interprets CT as a "compelling psychogram of a diverse community processing massive demographic shifts in the wake of recurrent epidemic waves." Explores disruptions of social and linguistic categories, PardT as an allegory of plague death, various "satirical plague archetypes" among the pilgrims, and tensions between "egocentric coping mechanisms" and "visions of collaborative inclusivity."
