And then sometimes, things really do go wrong. Opting to dilate rather than cordon off this darkness, this volume assembles a variety of attempts to follow such moments into their folds of blackness and horror, to chart their endless sorrows and recursive gloom, and to take depth soundings in the darker recesses of the Chaucerian lakes in order to bring back palm- or bite-sized pieces (black jewels) of bitter Chaucer that could be shared with others ... an "assortment," if you will. Not that this collection finds only emptiness and non-meaning in these caves and lakes. You never know what you will discover in the dark. 606 $aLight and darkness in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLight and darkness in literature. 676 $a821.1 702 $aMasciandaro$b Nicola$f1969- 702 $aJoy$b Eileen A.$f1962- 702 $aSeaman$b Myra 712 02$aProject Muse, 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140254203321 996 $aDark Chaucer$92178389 997 $aUNINA
