- Description
- Traces the "motif of visible speech" in HF, identifying its source in Dante's "Divine Comedy," and exploring its relations with questions of literary transmission, especially in depictions of the story of Dido, the eagle's speech, and the House of Rumor. Chaucer's account emphasizes the truthlessness of stories and the limitations of the human mind.
