Description
Describes the "large scale social mobility" of late medieval England and argues that its modifications of traditional estates categories are reflected in CT. Uses Homi Bhabha's "postcolonial concepts of hybridity, in-betweenness, third space and mimicry" to explore the flexibility of the social estates of the Knight, Monk, Prioress, Franklin, and Miller. In English, with an abstract in Turkish.
