Chaucer's French Translations
- Published
- Nottingham Medieval Studies 37 (1993): 65-81.
- Description
- Examines four principles in Chaucer's translations: redistribution, themes from works, syntactic symmetry, and homonym translation. Relates these principles to medieval practices of reading, writing, and translation, showing that the distinction between translation and creativity is not clear-cut.
