- Description
- With special consideration of Ovid, Dante, and Boccaccio as models (not sources), explores the relationship between Chaucer's predecessors and CT while conducting in-depth investigation into Chaucer's reworking of the original texts both through the pilgrims' tales as translations and the pilgrims themselves as translators. Examines individual characters' narrative roles in FranT, WBT, ClT, MerT, PardT, and MilT, and focuses on Chaucer's use of interruption of speech and repetition as narrative conventions.
