The Critical focus of this book is on Chaucer’s invention of antiquity and modern through his engagement with Boccaccio. By way introduction, I want this project. The first term is conventional; the others require more extensive discussion. By invention, I mean that Chaucer follows the protocol for rewriting in medieval poetic theory and reads antecedent text for what remains latent, potential, as yet unexpressed in their representation of fictional worlds. He negotiates both the language and the silences left by previous authors to see what else might be explored or reimagined from their work or situated in a different imaginative context. Chaueser poems thus emerge from a critical engagement with source texts and literary precursors. Invention funishes a technique of composition at the same time that it presupposes a theory and pratice of intertextaulity. [download]
