- Description
- Chaucer, especially GP, inspired Spenser's poetic identiy in "The Faerie Queene." Through allegory, Spenser manifests Chaucer's ironic doubleness, and he de-centers his dominant narration through various forms of "impersonations," emulating Chaucer's blurring of "character and characterizer."
