The First German Essay on Chaucer

Published
Chaucer Review 13 (1978): 80-85.

Description
Caroline Spurgeon's (1925) attribution of the first German essay on Chaucer to J. J. Eschenburg (1793) is inaccurate. Karl Friedrich Flogel published a short Chaucerian essay a decade earlier in "Geschichte der komischen Literatur" (1784-87). German transcript and English translation are included.
