Rezensionen

"This volume offers much for the Chaucerian critic committed to or simply intrigued by ecocritical approaches to literature. Normandin makes ... appreciated tales vital to our understanding not just of Chaucer's time period, but our own." (Susan Morrison, The Medieval Review, scholarworks.iu.edu, June 28, 2019)
