- Description
- Asserts that Chaucer's dream visions dramatize the act of reading and illustrate the author's interest in the reciprocity of author, text, and reader in making and renewing of meaning. Argues that Chaucer represents the failure of all kinds of reading, maintains that meaning can be derived from recursive reading, and indicates Chaucer was interested in preserving the past while looking forward. Focuses on BD, PF, and HF.
