Chaucer at Woodstock: A Theme in English Verse of the Eighteenth Century

Published
Review of English Studies 48 (1997): 157-67.

Description
Geoffrey Chaucer, traditionally thought to be an early resident of Woodstock, and John Churchill, first duke of Marlborough, are united by geography. Together they represent English glory and are thus commemorated in minor verse of the eighteenth century, samples of which are included in Stanley's article. Chaucer's residency at Woodstock, however, is mere pretense.
