Published
Chaucer Review 29 (1994): 45-64.

Description
Drawing from Geoffrey of Vinsauf and Mikhail Bakhtin on the "rhetoric of the utterance," Andreas stresses the importance of Chaucer's links between tales in the development of characters, authors, audience, and still more stories. The links exist in temporal time and demonstrate the characters making their own choices.
