- Published
- Theatre Southwest 14 (1987): 9-12.
- Description
- The love ballad "Rosemounde" is a "sophisticated dramatic monologue" in which Chaucer unconventionally develops the theme of carnal versus spiritual love "through the 'persona' of a boastful knight." Through the comic irony of the ballad and the use of oral narration, Chaucer the poet is identified with the persona.
