Chaucer's Reading
- Published
- A. C. Cawley, ed. Chaucer's Mind and Art (New York: Barnes & Noble; Edinburgh and London: Oliver & Boyd, 1969), pp. 46-68.
- Description
- Describes the literary resources available to Chaucer (and their limitations), comments on the works that influenced him most pervasively, and explores the "close links" between dreaming and reading in his dream visions (BD, PF, HF, and LGWP) and NPT. Suggests that TC and CT evince Chaucer's "emancipation" from the dream vision genre.
