- Description
- Uses the Hoccleve portrait of Chaucer as a focal point for examining the nineteenth-century image of Chaucer. Viewed at first as the one "modern" author of his time, Chaucer becomes, through the work of the Chaucer Society and the edition of Skeat, an illustration of the importance of the study of medieval English, which in turn plays an important role in the development of English studies.
