- Description
- Demonstrates Chaucer's "skills as a miniaturist," discussing antecedents in rhetorical tradition to the phrase "places delitables" (i.e., "locus amoenus") in FranT (5.899) and the interdependence of "moral and physical gifts" in the description of Blanche in BD (866-77) which combines the rhetorical devices of "notatio" and "effictio."
