Description
After a short survey of France's discovery of medieval English literature, especially Chaucer, in the nineteenth century, Dor describes the main features of Chatelain's first complete translation of CT into French, published in London from 1857 to 1860. With his ideal of verisimilitude and his sense of decency and of measure, Chatelain embellished CT with additional details, references to classical mythology, and euphemisms.
