Forms of Talk in The Canterbury Tales
- Published
- Poetica: An International Journal of Linguistic Literary Studies 34 (1991):88-100.
- Description
- Investigates the ways CT problematizes the medium of speech and, through its self-conscious narrators, comments on the changing value of spoken language. Though Chaucer preserves and allows resistance to the tyrannies of high literary form, his relation to the poetry of common speech is problematic.
