- Roderick J. Lyall and Felicity Riddy, eds. Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Scottish Language and Literature (Medieval and Renaissance). (Stirling/Glasgow: Department of Scottish Literature, University of Glasgow, 1981), pp. 177-90.
- Description
- Questions the nature and extent of Chaucer's influence on the "Scottish Chaucerians," since most medieval literature is simultaneously derivative and innovative. The "Kingis Quair" of James I (viewed here in the context of the Selden manuscript) is not so much derived from Chaucer as it is a result of a "richly complicated process of historical revisionism."
- Reprinted in Daniel J. Pinti, "Writings After Chaucer" (New York and London: Garland, 1998), pp. 167-76.
