- Published
- Studies in the Age of Chaucer 21: 275-99, 1999.
- Description
- In his "Regement of Princes" and "Address to Oldcastle," Hoccleve seeks to assert a revival of chivalry as a means of recovering from the degeneracy of the reign of Henry IV. In doing so, he champions "father" Chaucer's orthodoxy and presents Chaucerian reading "as a kind of chivalric practice that directly counters the feminine Lollard program of translation and interpretation" (p. 278)
