Description
Chaucer's lyrics, usually written in imitation of the current French forms of ballades and rondels, were, in fact, his most influential legacy to the fifteenth-century Chaucerians. Chaucer may have written his early poetry (now lost or unattributed) in French.
Reprinted from the first (1968) edition, with updated bibliography.
