- Published
- Catherine Batt, ed. Essays on Thomas Hoccleve ([Turnhout, Belgium]: Brepols, 1996), pp. 29-54.
- Description
- Questions how well Thomas Hoccleve's translation of Christine de Pizan's "Epistre au dieu d'amours" captures the "wit of the original," arguing that the translation was influenced by LGW and by other Chaucerian works and suggesting that Christine's original may also reflect the influence of LGW.
