'Pandras' in Deschamps' Ballade for Chaucer

Published
Chaucer Review 9 (1975): 327-36.

Description
Despite old objections concerning the date of Deschamps ballade to Chaucer and the Frenchman's rudimentary knowledge of English, it is likely that in his use of "pandras" Deschamps was alluding to Chaucer's TC. This shows that, during his own lifetime, knowledge of Chaucer's masterpiece had spread to France.
