- Description
- After a short discussion of the genesis of CT, Bourgne successively explores its structure (collection of tales; importance of commerce and exchanges; prologues; labyrinth); shifts between oral and written literatures, or audiences and readerships; spaces of the narrative (pilgrimage, movement, places, cosmology, literary and social orders); rhetoric (traditional medieval rhetoric and Chaucer's own), with a brief account of major figures; sentence/solace, knowledge and carnival; various forms of time; language and versification.
