- Description
- Explores literary and historical contexts that complicate reception of ABC, including works by Jean de Meun, Guillaume de Deguileville, and John Lydgate. Chaucer's stand-alone translation initiates an immediacy with its audience that is not apparent in Deguileville's "Pelerinage de la vie humaine" or Lydgate's "Pilgrimage of the Life of Man."
