Description
Recovers clues to Chaucer's own authorial recital by searching for evidence of tonal intentions in TC. Provides a performance-based reading of the poem that begins with "the premise that Chaucer himself once recited TC aloud," thus allowing "evidence within the text to be read as historical evidence of its own prior enactment."
