Ganim uses the concept of theatricality to illuminate Chaucers manipulations of the forms of popular culture and high literary discourse. He calls upon recent work in semiotics and social history to question Mikhail Bakhtins notion of the "carnivalesque" and the "dialogic," at the same time suggesting Bakhtins usefulness in understanding Chaucer. This book includes chapters on how Chaucer adopts the voice of such popular literary forms as chronicles and pious collections, on his equivalence between his own image making and dramatic performance, and on Chaucers and Boccaccios handling of the related issues of popular understanding and the creation of illusions. The book concludes by describing how Chaucer conflates "noise" and popular expression, simultaneously appropriating and distancing himself from his richest cultural context.
