The Reputation and Circulation of Chaucer's Lyrics in the Fifteenth Century

Published
Chaucer Review 28 (1993): 23-40.

Description
Chaucer's lyrics were known to readers at an early date, even before they appeared in print in the early fifteenth century. Earlier references are apparently lists, but the emulation of Chaucer's rhetorical strategies, rhymes, and phrasing suggests his influence.
