Description
Ten essays by various authors on the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century reception of Chaucer, as reflected in editing practice, growth of the canon, and poetic imitation and emulation. In "Introduction: Receiving Chaucer in Renaissance England," Krier theorizes the "gratitude" expressed in Renaissance culture for the "generosity" of Chaucer and his works, focusing on Francis Thynne's "Animadversions."
