- Description
- Contrasts Chaucer's and Gower's Philomela stories, focusing on differences between the nuances and implications of weaving in LGW and embroidery in "Confessio Amantis," and arguing that Chaucer's version aligns better with modern understanding of "trauma-fragmented memory," speaking, and rape survival.
