Description
Assesses the "temporally heterogeneous portrayals of an emerging sense" of "Engelond" in the scenes of Saxon conversion in the Constance narratives of Trevet's "Cronicles," Gower's "Confessio Amantis," and MLT. These scenes are "sites where the power of linguistic difference to form community becomes a central concern."
