Chaucer, Deschamps, and 'Le Roman de Brut'
- Published
- Arts: The Journal of the Sydney University Arts Association 12 (1984): 35-39.
- Description
- The line "Aux ignorans de la langue pandras" in Deschamps' ballade to Chaucer refers to the Saxon element in English culture, as opposed to the British or Anglo-Norman elements with which Chaucer is associated. Deschamps dissociates a poet he admired from a society whose policies he detested. A similar wish may be reflected in Chaucer's Purse.
