'At the Stremes Hed of Grace': Representations of Prince and Poet in Late Medieval English Court Poetry

Published
Dissertation Abstracts International 57 (1996): 1631A.

Description
Before Richard II's deposition, Chaucer affected an apolitical stance, while Gower became pro-Lancastrain. Poetic self-representation later gave way to politicized views in the works of Hoccleve, Scogan, and Lydgate. The dissertation also treats Margery Kempe, James I of Scotland, and George Ashby.
