Chaucer's Fifteenth-Century Audience and the Narrowing of the 'Chaucer Tradition'
- Published
- Studies in the Age of Chaucer 4 (1982): 3-32.
- Description
- Few of Chaucer's primary audience (men like Sturry, Clifford, Clanover, Montagu, Vache, Scogan, Bukton, Gower, Strode, and Usk) survived him or were still active after his death. His fifteenth-century audience was more broadly dispersed but more narrow, conservative, and prudent in its taste.
