The Swindling of Chaucerians and the Critical Fate of The Floure and the Leafe

Description
Critics of "The Floure and the Leafe" respond less to the text than to its critical history. Detraction by W. W. Skeat and other members of the Chaucer Society is compensation for earlier praise of the work by Dryden, Pope, Keats, and others.
