- Description
- LGWP reflects concern with poetic art, especially the notions of translation and transformation, "making" and "enditing." Cupid's accusations against Rom and TC privilege social over artistic meaning although Chaucer and Alceste subvert this "social appropriation of poetry." Edwards assesses the relations of social and artistic meaning in BD and KnT as well.
