- Description
- Considers three rhetorical features of HF (introductory features, "occupatio" and the inexpressibility "topos," and repeated rhyme) to refute John Matthews Manly's view (1926) that Chaucer's early writing lacked originality and that his use of rhetoric was extrinsic to the meaning of his poems.
