- Description
- Chaucer is a philosophical realist whose naìˆve narrators, tale-within-a-tale structuring, and focus on irony and linguistic slippage enable him to assert Truth while exposing the limitations of individual human perspectives. Williams examines the five books of TC in separate chapters and then devotes individual chapters to GP, WBP, WBT, PardP, PardT, and NPT. Readings are based on translations in Modern English.
