Published
SELIM: Journal of the Spanish Society for Mediaeval English Language and Literature 7: 161-80., 1997.

Description
Chaucer expresses the dialectical tension between subject and history, between the inner and the outer self, between canon and parody in CT and TC. He represents this conflict through dramatic dialogue and theatrical performance, making the subjective characters-the "dramatis personae"-more relevant than are story and narrative.

Chaucer Subjects
Canterbury Tales--General.
Troilus and Criseyde.
