- Introduces the major forms of English poetry from lyric to dramatic monologue to sonnet to ballad and beyond, with recurrent references to Chaucer's role in their development (see index), and a sustained discussion of Chaucer and narrative poetry (pp. 196-200) that comments on the "mode of telling and the role of the narrator" in TC and the "unrivalled examples of narrative artistry" in CT, particularly KnT, NPT, and PardT.
