William Dunbar's Poetics: A Reconsideration of the Chaucerian in a Scottish Maker
- Published
- Dissertation Abstracts International 56 (1996): 3950A.
- Description
- Though recent studies of Dunbar emphasize the traditional, the Scottish, and the Renaissance elements of his poetry, his aureate verse derives from familiarity with the rhetoric of Dante and Boccaccio, and his prosody from Chaucer. He is closer to Chaucer than to poets of the early sixteenth century.
