- Description
- Argues that the monastic ideal of "contemplative solitude" was an innovative resource in English literature between Richard Rolle and Robert Henryson. Maintains that Chaucer deployed it comically in HF and that, along with notions of Chaucer's exceptionality, it helped to shape the reception of Chaucer's lyrics.
