The texts she considers range from the twelfth-century\u003ci\u003e De planctu naturae\u003c\/i\u003e to Pynchon's \u003ci\u003eGravity's Rainbow\u003c\/i\u003e, and include such works as\u003ci\u003e Le Roman de la Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, Langland's \u003ci\u003ePiers Plowman\u003c\/i\u003e, Hawthorne's \u003ci\u003eScarlet Letter\u003c\/i\u003e, Melville's \u003ci\u003eConfidence Man\u003c\/i\u003e, and Spenser's \u003ci\u003eFaerie Queene\u003c\/i\u003e.
