- Published
- In Jamie C. Fumo, ed. Chaucer's "Book of the Duchess": Contexts and Interpretations (Cambridge: D. S. Brewer, 2018), pp. 135-56.
- Description
- Shows how the "relationship between voice and identity" is a preoccupation of both BD and one of its chief sources, Machaut's "Dit de la fonteinne amoureuse." Highlights the formative influence of the composite "Roman de la Rose"--particularly its conjuring of an authorial "je"--on "the powers and the limitations of the voice" in the later narratives.
