- Description
- Emphasizes the stylistic and rhetorical innovation of Chaucer's narrative voice, arguing that it can be perceived behind his various narrators and implied authors.
- Comparing and contrasting the voice of KnT with that of Chaucer's other works and those of contemporary romances, Klitgard examines how Chaucer achieves a paradoxical distance from and closeness to his material in KnT and leaves the poem without thematic resolution.
- Chaucer's voice can be perceived despite the various and shifting registers and narrative postures of KnT.
