Beginning with the spectacle of hysteria, moving through the
perversions of fetishism, masochism, and sadism, and ending with
paranoia and psychosis, this book explores the ways that conflicts
with the Oedipal law erupt on the body and in language in Chaucer's
Canterbury Tales, for Chaucer's tales are rife with issues of
mastery and control that emerge as conflicts not only between
authority and experience but also between power and knowledge, word
and flesh, rule books and reason, man and woman, same and other -
conflicts that erupt in a macabre sprawl of broken bones,
dismembered bodies, cut throats, and decapitations. Like the
macabre sprawl of conflict in the Canterbury Tales, this book
brings together a number of conflicting modes of thinking and
writing through the surprising and perhaps disconcerting use of
"shadow" chapters that speak to or against the four "central"
chapters, creating both dialogue and interruption.
