- Description
- Two tales in CT define Chaucer's role as an "implied author" and reflect his double vocation as a poet and diplomat. Th is a "brilliant example of his mastery as a poet"; Mel expresses his "ideological premises," anticipating the closing of the Canterbury fiction and providing a means to assess other tellers and their characters.
