- Description
- Explores Chaucer's use of "the physics of measurement," an aspect of the science of optics (new in Chaucer's day), which measured "motion and relationships among objects inside a framed space." Chaucer's "verbal structures often move as the eye does." Holley examines Chaucer's "poetics of space" in TC, BD, HF, and several of the CT: KnT, MilT, MLT, SumT, SNT, PhyT, and PardT.
