Pandemic Chaucer: The Canterbury Tales and the Second Plague Pandemic

Lorenz Hindrichsen is a historian/cultural critic working primarily on anglophone texts (Chaucer to the Romantics) with a wide range of interests: colonial discourse, gender, visual arts, scientific writing, and travel accounts. He loves exploring new theory (CRT, temporality, spatiality, materiality, trauma theory, eco-criticism, affective turn), and he is currently working on pandemic literature (medieval/early modern), graphic trauma narratives, and religion and race in Romantic texts.
