    Troilus and Criseyde: Sexual Difference and the Knots of Memory (2015-04-16)
    (2015) Evans, Ruth; University of Minnesota Duluth. Department of English
    In this paper we begin by asking in what senses memory in the Middle Ages is gendered, and then turn to the recurrent use of the trope of the knot -- as a reference to both memory and the binding power of love – in Troilus and Criseyde. Troilus and Criseyde, the poem claims, remember differently and have different claims on each other’s memory. But these gendered differences are not as uncomplicated as they at first appear.
