Description
Explores Chaucer's "literary voice" as a self-conscious reflection of late-fourteenth-century vernacularizing.
Chaucer fuses discursive gestures to separate authorial and narratorial voices. In MilT, the fabliau resonates ironically with the science of music theory. With its allusions to Virgil's "Aeneid," HF exemplifies vernacular poetics derived from classical literature.
