- Description
- HF is a response to the "creative anxiety inherent in seeking to continue a literary inheritance believed to have already reached its highest peaks of achievement." In his presentation of a desert landscape, Chaucer partially resists Continental models and indicates that English is outside the "impermeable" system of European language and culture.
