- Description
- HF, a turning point in Chaucer's career and in English literary culture, reflects attitudes toward fame and glory from Homer to the Scholastics to writers of the Italian "trecento." The poem deals with issues of fame, poetry, and linguistic theory and explores archetypal imagery. HF is probably "in-finite" rather than unfinished.
