- Description
- Influenced by the conventions of Renaissance Petrarchism, Jonathan Sidnam's seventeenth-century translation/paraphrase of TC suppresses Chaucer's intimations that his poem may be read by both men and women in a way that transcends gender. Observing this, the modern reader can recognize the uniqueness of Chaucer's representation of the story.
