- Description
- Chaucer exemplifies one of Mikhail Bakhtin's important claims that laughter can engage and comment on human systems and can function as a form of social and intellectual critique. Engle briefly surveys Bakhtinian theory, suggests its power in describing the structure of CT, and ends with a detailed analysis of ClT in Bakhtinian terms.
