Summary
"Uses readings from Sir Orfeo, Chrétien de Troyes, Guillaume de Machaut, and Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, among others, to uncover literary forms that arise from representations of avian and female bodies and to demonstrate how cultural literacy in the art of falconry mapped onto poetry and challenged patriarchal control"-- Provided by publisher.
