- Description
- Describes the importance of mental images to medieval understanding of cognition and memory, and clarifies the importance of such images to understanding Chaucer's works as iconographical poems. Meaning inheres in such images and enables both recollection and interpretation throughout his narrative works. Moreover, the depiction of the story of Aeneas in HF is a "medieval paradigm of how narrative poems are made, responded to, and remembered."
