Textual Authority and the Works of Hoccleve, Lydgate, and Henryson
- Published
- Viator 23 (1992): 281-99.
- Description
- Examines the differing ways Hoccleve, Lydgate, and Henryson responded to and imitated Chaucer, observing their sensitivity to his metatextual concerns and his sense of literary history. These three authors do not comprise a single and unified response to Chaucer, and therefore challenge our notions of a unified "idea" of English literary tradition.
