Making and Poetry in the Age of Chaucer
- Published
- Comparative Literature 31 (1979): 272-90.
- Description
- Chaucer's distinction between "makere" and "poete" is found elsewhere in medieval writings. Serving both to separate classical from contemporary and to distinguish artistic quality from moral seriousness, the distinction suggests the relationship between vernacular versifiers and Latin Christian humanists.
