Description
Cawsey examines the impact of assumptions about audience in the criticism of six twentieth-century Chaucer scholars (Kittredge, Lewis, Donaldson, Robertson, Dinshaw, and Patterson). These assumptions include whether the audience is diachronic or synchronic, the level of audience trust, and the audience's homogeneity.
