Description
HF, PF, and LGW are examples of "play" in Huizinga's sense. At once occasional poems and investigations of poetic theory, they act together to permit Chaucer to depart, in CT, from traditional poetics and perhaps politics.

Chaucer Subjects
House of Fame.
Parliament of Fowls.
Legend of Good Women.
Canterbury Tales--General.
