- Description
- Argues that the "Chaucerian narrator could easily and perhaps more readily be called the Chaucerian translator," observing emphasis on translation in LGWP and in Ret, assessing Chaucer's many uses of sources and approaches to translation, including satirizing mistranslation and lack of translation (e.g., in NPT), and exploring the penitential, even salvific effects of good translations in MelP, ParsT, and Ret.
