Description

Book Synopsis
Nationalism, like medieval romance literature, recasts history as a mythologized and seamless image of reality. Living in the Future analyses how the anachronistic nationalist fantasies in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales create a false sense of England's historical continuity that in turn legitimized contemporary political ambitions.
