Description
Contrasts medieval and modern ideas of authorship, focusing on how Chaucer "treated old authorities in developing his own reputation and what strategies he employed to establish a harmony among the multiple authorial voices" in PF. Proposes that, for Chaucer, authorship is defined by the "level of the author’s creative input" in combination with the occasion of a work, its "original context and purpose," and its various possible audiences
