Title Chaucer's body : the anxiety of circulation in the "Canterbury tales" / R. Allen Shoaf.

Descript 1 online resource (xvi, 162 pages) Bibliog. Includes bibliographical references (pages 139-152) and index. Summary "Chaucer's Body follows the fortunes of individual bodies in the Canterbury Tales to their surprising, often shocking, involvements in both the humor and the horror of being human. Neither wholly carnal nor wholly spiritual, bodies in Chaucer's poem emerge as sites of resistance to economic, political, social, and sexual forces."--Jacket Note English.
