- Description
- Includes a subsection titled "Detoxing England: Patience Agbabi's 'Telling Tales,'" arguing that Agbabi successfully detoxifies CT's "ideologeme of othering, most obviously in religious, sexual and racial dichotomies." Uses case-study comparison of PrT and Agbabi's "Sharps an Flats," considering style as well as matter, with attention to reception of PrT by the pilgrim audience through to Robert Lumiansky's 1948 prose summary.
