- Description
- Describes classical and medieval concerns with authorial intention and readerly control, commenting on Dante, the "Roman de la Rose," Hoccleve, and Lydgate in particular, and exploring how and where in HF Chaucer "puts in the spotlight the metapoetics of what it is to be a named author." Focuses on Dido's lament (ll. 300-10) and Fame's court to disclose Chaucer's concern with the "semiosis of his text" and his rejection of laureation "even before it is offered to him."
