Book synopsis

Desiring Discourse offers new essays that treat the reception and re-configuration of Ovidian themes, texts, and tropes in medieval Latin authors, in Old French literature, in Boccaccio, and in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde. The contributors address the social and rhetorical constructedness of desire (and of embodiment) in amatory literature while they interrogate the role and value of contemporary critical theory in the study of this literature.
