Writing Remembering Orality: Geoffrey Chaucer's Sir Thopas
- Published
- European Journal of English Studies 10.2 (2006): 131-48.
- Description
- Børch discusses Th as an "oral romance," surveying its oral characteristics and exploring how these characteristics - when they are written - help to parody the "chivalric ethos" that underlies the genre of romance. Th also exposes for consideration the differences between written and oral modes of narration, which, in turn, reflect Chaucer's concern with the relations among his Continental and English models.
