- Description
- Explores the "complex dialectic between the author and his reader" as the defining feature of the novel as a literary form, offering case studies in a range of works, medieval to modern. Includes a discussion of TC (pp. 44-73) which focuses on courtly love, the romance genre, and Chaucer's manipulations of them to produce his "antiromance" which is novelistic in the ways it engages its audience.
