- Description
- Studies Chaucer's uses of first-person narration in light of rhetorical tradition and medieval notions of the individual, examining PF as the site of the first "fully realized" instance of Chaucer's "characteristic narrative mode," reading TC as "about the experience of its teller in the act of telling the tale," and CT as a "collection of 'narrative moments'" that develop "earlier modes of narration."
