- Description
- Identifies parallels between CT and Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," found particularly in the fictional "Historical Notes" that follow the main text of the novel. Notes the echo of Chaucer in Atwood's title and a single reference to Chaucer in her work, but focuses on textual complexity and "the problem of language as a vehicle for meaning" in both texts.
