- Published

- Description
- Camargo explores how time functions rhetorically in Chaucer's works, discussing duration as a feature of style (amplification and abbreviation), time as an attribute of action (time as cause) and person (time of birth as character), and several examples of specious argument from opportunity. Draws examples from CT and TC.
