Description
Summarizes the political, economic, and social aspects of late-medieval Flanders and evokes a sense of English attitudes toward them. Chaucer's references and allusions to Flanders and Flemings in GP, Th, ShT, PardT, and CT anticipate the more aggressively anti-Flemish rhetoric of the fifteenth-century "Libelle of Englysche Polycye."
