Scogan, Shirley's Reputation and Chaucerian Occasional Verse
- Published
- Geoffrey Lester, ed. Chaucer in Perspective: Middle English Essays in Honour of Norman Blake (Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 1999), pp. 28-46.
- Description
- Reassesses details of Chaucer's Scog and of Scogan's Moral Balade in light of their historical context, intertextual relations, manuscript variants, and scribal graffiti, arguing that Scogan's poem reflects familiarity with several of Chaucer's works. Burnley reads Scog for what it can tell us about the lives of the poets.
