Chaucer and the Middle Scots Poets

- Description
- All major poets of the fifteenth century in England and Scotland considered themselves disciples of Chaucer. The extent to which they actually emulated Chaucer in their works, however, is questionable. Additional studies involving the Chaucer canon, the state of learning in fifteenth-century Scotland, Scottish cultural history, and authorial background must be made to assess Chaucer's influence.
