Description
Rather than personal comments to private friends, Buk and Scog may be seen as Chaucer's experiments with "[t]urning the relationship between writer and reader into a poetic subject of its own." The characteristic sense of play and seemingly "intimate" bond between poet and addressee are typical of Chaucer.

Chaucer Subjects
