Chaucer and the Oxford Renaissance of Anglo-Latin Rhetoric
- Published
- SAC 34 (2012): 173-207.
- Description
- Surveys rhetorical approaches to Chaucer and documents the "renaissance in rhetoric" in late fourteenth-century England by surveying manuscripts that contain rhetorical treatises. The impact of this renaissance is evident in Chaucer's poetry: while his early poetry was relatively unconcerned with rhetoric, it is clearly evident in TC; present in NPT and SqT; and underlying the characterizations of the Franklin, the Pardoner, and the Monk.
