Description
Explores how poets "guide their readers through sequences of feelings, thoughts, and attitudes" by means of verbal depictions of built spaces that orient readers' attention to the use of spaces and spatial objects. Includes discussion of the gate in PF (lines 127-49) to demonstrate differences between "propositional" space and "ductile" space, presented by Chaucer with comic ambiguity.
