- Description
- King James, Henryson, Dunbar, and Douglas were influenced by Chaucer rhetorically and stylistically, as well as in their choices of genre; but Gray emphasizes the influence of Chaucer's ideas and themes--noting particularly how Chaucer's "powers" of Nature and Fortune and the admirable human qualities of "pite" and "gentilesse," in KnT, WBT, and PF, influenced these Scottish writers.
