Recenzje

We have a range of perspectives on some of the issues that are now central to the field of Chaucer studies and to the discipline of English more generally, including national or ethnic identities, religious diff erence, bodily diversity, and race ... While some essays are intended for student readers, others providing context to fill in aspects of the late medieval background will be appreciated by specialists.
