Chaucer's Literary Terms
- Published
- Anglia 114 (1996): 202-35.
- Description
- Explores Chaucer's literary self-consciousness by tabulating and analyzing his wide-ranging and complex variety of literary terms, including terms that describe the process of writing and the impact of literature, as well as terms of genre, rhetoric, and sources. Compares Chaucer's terms with those of Gower and Usk to find the "beginnings of English literary criticism."
