- Published
- Theresa M. Krier, ed. Refiguring Chaucer in the Renaissance (Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 1998), pp. 21-39.
- Description
- Examines allusions to Chaucer's poetry in works by Thomas Wyatt. Thynne's edition of Chaucer shows how he was appropriated for the crown's political agenda, while the Devonshire manuscript reflects subversive appropriation. Wyatt capitalizes on this fragmentation of Chaucer's "cultural authority" to express his own poetic and political struggles.
