- Description
- Kohl examines conscious "orality" and appeals to the reader by narrators in the poetry of Ricardian authors: Gower, the "Gawain" poet, and others, including Chaucer (CT, TC, PF, LGW, and HF). With the introduction of unreliable narrators, the function of literature changed. Ricardian poets did not teach; rather, they forced the audience to reach their own moral conclusions.
