- Description
- Bakhtinian analysis of Chaucer's polyphonic satiric techniques in CT, especially GP and MilT, emphasizing their place in the development of English satire and the rise of realism and journalistic claims of accurate reportage. Treats Chaucer's pilgrims as "voices" rather than "characters," and examines the narrator's apologies for reporting accurately in CT and the Nun's Priest's apology in NPT.
