Although scholars have historically minimized the relationship between medieval grammatical and rhetorical traditions and Chaucer9s poetics, Proserpina9s angry speech in the Merchant9s Tale represents the intersection of medieval classroom grammar exercises, Geoffrey of Vinsauf9s theory of delivery, and poetics. Proserpina9s angry speech reveals that her rhetoric is calculated to subvert the masculine power structures that surround her. Such a focus on Chaucer9s depiction of women9s persuasive tactics helps to highlight Chaucer9s deep engagement with rhetoric beginning in the 13809s. Moreover, this investigation asks for increased attention to the overlap between classroom grammatical traditions, rhetorical theory, and medieval poetics.
