Sinopse
Características

Focusing on four aspects of Chaucers poetics-use of narrative, speech, rhetoric, and figurative language-this is the first book-length study to identify Chaucers distinctive poetic strategies by making specific comparisons with known textual sources. The author provides a combination of analysis of both poetic stylistics and sources, reading The Legend of Good Women and five of The Canterbury Tales (The Knights Tale, The Man of Laws Tale, The Physicians Tale, The Monks Tale, and The Manciples Tale) against their textual sources, including Ovids Metamorphoses and Heroides, Boccaccios Teseida, Virgils Aeneid, Le Roman de la Rose, and histories by Nicholas Trevet and Guido delle Colonne. Holton provides a picture of Chaucers habits as a writer, showing that he was consistent in asserting his own techniques against the pressure of his sources and in keeping control over words and their meaning.
