Chaucer's Pilgrims in Fifteenth-Century Literature
- Published
- Fifteenth-Century Studies 7 (1983): 221-36.
- Description
- Chaucer's pilgrims reappear in the prologues of "The Tale of Beryn" (ca. 1410) and Lydgate's "Seige of Thebes" (1422) as "metafictions," or comments on Chaucer's GP; "Beryn" criticizes implicitly the lack of realism in Chaucer, and Lydgate portrays the end of medieval culture.
