- Description
- Includes nine essays, an index, and an introduction by the editors. Adopting a new formalist methodology that attends both to aesthetics and historicism, the volume focuses on "the incompleteness and self-contradictory nature of form" in Chaucer's works. Subversive aspects of form are considered in relation to authorial intention, embodied experience, and reception.
