'Chaucer (of all admired) the story gives': Shakespeare, Medieval Narrative, and Generic Innovation
- Published
- Renaissance Papers n.v. (2009): 85-109.
- Description
- Applies Mikhail Bakhtin's notion of "work-utterance" to Chaucer's influence on Shakespeare, focusing on how Chaucerian (and other medieval) narratives are involved in Shakespeare's "generic innovations" in "Troilus and Cressida," "Pericles," and "Two Noble Kinsmen." Of particular concern are the "judgment-deferring disposition" of TC, the "iconic" notions of Chaucer and Gower in Robert Greene's "Vision," and the questioning of chivalry that recurs in Chaucer's works.
