- Description
- Chaucer's use of metonymy in CT expresses his "anxiety of circulation," which is traced through his references to the fragmented body and bodily functions, infection, magic, rhetoric, and translation. Shoaf examines relationships among tales, tellers, and Harry Bailly in the various fragments of CT.
