- Review
- Offers pedagogical strategies for confronting "literary representations of sexual violence" in a range of medieval romances and novelle within story collections, including Chaucer's "Knight's Tale" and "Franklin's Tale," and works by Malory, Bocaccio, Gower, and Marguerite de Navarre. Provides "reading approaches, discussion prompts, assignments, and critical contexts" intended to "to position students as critical co-investigators." Gower receives the slightest attention--less than a full paragraph on Thaise in "Apollonius" (pp. 42-43). [MA. Copyright. John Gower Society. eJGN 42.1]
