- Description
- Chaucer's dream poems reflect the self-consciousness of "mise en abyme"--literally, "setting of the abyss"--used here to identify Chaucer's means of drawing attention to structural and thematic circularity and to poetics.
- In their intertextual relations with sources, their circular structural patterns, and their thematic tautologies, BD, PF, HF, and LGWP are "open," experimental fiction; they reflect late-medieval interest in cognition and the limits of authoritative epistemological models.
