- Description
- Examines the narrative and linguistic effects of the Hundred Years War, and claims that the war functions similarly to the Conquest of 1066 as an event that shapes a relationship between word and war and emphasizes the mimetic relationship between text and martial context. Chapter 3, "'God gyue you quaderamp!': Mimetic Language in the War Poetry of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries" (pp. 101-163), defines Chaucer as the founder of a "self-conscious vernacular poetic tradition" because of his "association with Englishness."
