- Description
- Chaucer uses both conventional and original musical signs, some "in bono," some "in malo." His originality manifests itself in five main areas: "single signs, elaborate combinations, vivid contrasts, recurring symbolism, and overall structure," as noted in CT, PF, BD, HF, TC, Boece, LGW, Mars.
