- Published
- Beryl Rowland, ed. Companion to Chaucer Studies (New York: Oxford University Press, 1979), pp. 464-76.
- Description
- In this century discussions of LGW have centered on two points: the historical occasion of the poem and its significance as a stage in Chaucer's artistic development. Not until the last decade has criticism concerned itself with the artistry of the legends themselves and not just with the Prologue.
- Added to the first (1968) edition, replacing Fox's "Chaucer's Influence on Fifteenth-Century Poetry."
