Description
Investigates the restless "emotional movement" of "roaming" in KnT, as expression of both confined frustration and openness to new adventures enacted by Palamon, Emelye, and Arcite. Compares Chaucer's depictions of these movements and emotions with those found in Boccaccio's "Teseida," and compares Emelye's roaming with Dorigen's in FranT, Constance's in MLT, and Hypsipyle's in LGW.
