'Micrological Aggregates' : Is the New Chaucer Society Speaking in Tongues?
- Published
- Studies in the Age of Chaucer 21: 3-26, 1999.
- Description
- Confronts questions of canonicity, the "value" of literature, and the relations between language and literature, encouraging members of the New Chaucer Society to help revitalize the role of language study. Equipped with a historical sense of how no language or literature is universal, Chaucerians can promote mastery of the "crafts of reading and composing in English" as the goals of their pedagogy.
