- Description
- Revisits the significance of the image-based mnemonic system known as artificial memory, especially as conceived in John of Garland's "Parisiana poetria," for Chaucer's poetic project in HF. Argues how "visual mnemonics and creative memory" shape HF's imagined architectural spaces by providing rhetorical impetus to new vernacular invention.
