- Description
- In in order to demonstrate the utility of reader-response criticism, Davis and Womack analyze ClT in light of GeĢrard Genette's theory of narratology and TC, Linda Hutcheon's theory of parody. In ClT, Chaucer controls tempo and reaction through structure; TC parodies Boccaccio's "Il Filostrato," particularly through the depictions of the main characters.
