Chaucer's Imagery
- Published
- Beryl Rowland, ed. Companion to Chaucer Studies (New York: Oxford University Press, 1979), pp. 117-42.
- Description
- Chaucer's figurative language is mostly traditional, but its effect usually transcends the merely visual: it is emotional and intellectual--aiming at more than concrete realism. Often, however, the nature of this imagery eludes us because Chaucer's world is so different from ours.
- Reprinted from the first (1968) edition, with updated bibliography.
