Bakhtin, the Novel, and Chaucer's 'Troilus and Criseyde'
- Published
- Chaucer Yearbook 3 (1996): 87-101.
- Description
- Defines TC as a novel because it partakes heavily of the linguistic qualities that Bakhtin associates with novelization, including contemporaneity, fusion of genres, and open-endedness. Most important, TC is dialogic in its adaptations of Boccaccio's "Filostrato," courtly conventions, Boethian thought, and Christian outlook.
