Chaucerian Selves---Especially Two Serious Ones
- Published
- Chaucer Review 4.4 (1970): 229-41.
- Description
- Posits that the "distance" between Chaucer and his various speaking personae is difficult to define because it "fluctuates" within individual poems and because a reader's sense of a given narrator is modified by the "fantastic" setting of the poem and its believability. Assesses this dynamic in BD, PF, LGWP, CT, and, especially, HF, TC, and their endings.
