- Description
- Contends SqT and Thopas are not artistic failures but that their departures from the usual norms of the medieval romance genre in tone, form, and subject matter are evidence of Chaucer's search "for a new mode of romance writing." Further, their unfinished condition require them to be read “in dialogue with other voices" in CT.
