Lawlor, John.   London: Hutchinson University Library, 1968.
Treats Chaucer's major narrative poems as "oral script(s)" presented to a "small and courtly audience," offering sustained readings that reflect the poems' tensions between authority and experience (or "pref") and address concerns of poetic freedom…

Millett, Bella.   Paul Strohm and Thomas J. Heffernan, eds. Studies in the Age of Chaucer, Proceedings, No. 1, 1984 (Knoxville, Tenn.: New Chaucer Society, 1985), pp. 93-103.
Invoking recent attempts by Minnis and by Allen to establish a medieval literary theory by which to measure Chaucer, Millett analyzes Chaucer's use in TC of the "auctor," "Lollius," a "transparent literary artifice." Through his "parody of the…

Henry, Avril.   Chaucer Review 18 (1983): 95-99.
"The Pilgrimage of the Lyf of the Manhode," the ME translation of de Guilleville's "Pelerinage de la vie humaine," leads to an emendation of Chaucer's lyric, which should probably read (lines 38-39): "So litel shal thanne in me be founde / That but…

Desmond, Marilynn.   Pacific Coast Philology 19 (1984): 62-67.
The "Legend of Dido" explicitly evokes its pretexts: the narrator names Virgil and Ovid and summarizes, paraphrases, and purposefully distorts the texts.

Wallace, David.   American Notes and Queries 23 (1984): 1-4.
In his adaptation of Boccaccio in TC, Chaucer Latinizes his source, pretending to follow the classical "Lollius." The same tendency may be observed in vocabulary, as Chaucer adds several words of Latin origin to the lexicon, glossing them with the…

Thompson, John.   Poetica (Tokyo) 37 (1993): 38-48.
Examines the textual tradition of ABC in its manuscripts and early editions, describing its popularity in manuscripts and its relatively late appearance in print in 1602.

Morgan, Gwendolyn.   Explicator 47 (1989): 3-5.
The shift from the first person of Anelida's complaint to the third person of the narrator's commentary is not an artistic flaw. Attributing the commentary to the Chaucerian narrator is consistent with that character's pose as inexperienced and…

Norton-Smith, John.   P. L. Heyworth, ed. Medieval Studies for J. A. W. Bennett (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1981), 81-99.
As suggested by the manuscripts, Anel is a complete, finished poem (with the omission of an unchaucerian final stanza). It is concerned with the theme of poetry as an art functioning as a record of history. Its closest affiliations are with the…

Cherniss, Michael D.   Chaucer Review 5.1 (1970): 9-21.
Contrasts the form of Anel with that of Mars and compares its form and themes with those of Chaucer's dream visions and its characterizations with those in KnT. Also hypothesizes what Chaucer may have intended to do further in Anel with the source…

Murtaugh, Daniel M.   Chaucer Review 44 (2010): 461-70.
When used in direct discourse, "as" often functions as a "discourse particle" in a manner similar to "the multivalent 'like' that seasons the more youthful dialects of Modern English." Such words allow interlocutors to convey meanings while not…

Bay, Marjorie Caddell.   Dissertation Abstracts International 49 (1988): 1460A.
This triad, repeated through the romances and the Marriage Group, and the unifying figure of the Host, in both GP and the links, demonstrate Chaucer's command of rhetoric and his originality.

Th, MkT, and SqT are "double-voiced"; they reveal CT's central concerns with "narratological competence" and Chaucer's self-awareness about his storytelling.

Sugano, Masahiko.   Eigo Seinen (Tokyo) 136 (1990): 476.

Wong, Jennifer.   Carmina Philosophiae 11: 93-116, 2002.
In mood and details, Form Age and For enable us to see Chaucer's pessimistic attitudes toward "Boethian concerns." Truth, Gent, and Sted also emphasize the wretchedness of the present world rather than recognition of divine order and the consolation…
