Description
Comments on Chaucer's ventriloquist complaints (in LGW and TC) and examines the length, structure, position, tone, and function of the genre in FranT. While they were initially types, major characters gain dimension. Dorigen's second soliloquy reflects the struggle of a female who attempts to solve the tragedy in which she is entangled.
In French.
