- Description
- Suggests we cannot necessarily assume that, in medieval texts, every instance of an "I" must represent a fictionalized narrator who has a persona that can be analyzed and ultimately held responsible for various details of, or problems within, the text. Refers to Chaucer throughout, particularly in Chapter 3, "Chaucerian Prologues and the Wife of Bath."
