Title A name given to the resource Chaucer and the History of English Description An account of the resource Critiques traditional treatment of Chaucer's English as the main antecedent of modern English and the assertion that it is representative. Chaucer's English is more conservative than that of many of his contemporaries and of general spoken discourse. Chaucer's use of the second-person plural pronoun, rife with social implications, indicates that the T-V distinction was no more than part of Chaucer's stylistic toolbox and not a marker of linguistic change.

Through this wordplay, Chaucer reveals his anxieties about the type of author he might be, and about the relationships between authorship and sinfulness and spirituality.

Title A name given to the resource Intoxicated with Words: The Colours of Rhetoric Description An account of the resource Chaucer is aware of poetic or aureate diction but seldom uses it. He is "essentially a poet of 'occupatio'." Language change rapidly made Chaucer's meter difficult to imitate, even for Lydgate. Like other writers, Chaucer introduces new Latinate vocabulary, especially in prose, even as he tries to write simply. This essay, edited from Frye's holograph, apparently notes toward a history of English literature, in the Victoria University Library, University of Toronto. Refers to Astr and Bo.

Chaucer was very earnest in his critiques of war in Mel and ParsT, but less direct in KnT and his description of the Knight. Chaucer was downright funny in Th, although equally critical of battle.
