- Description
- Examines how the careers of several courtiers-diplomats-poets can help us reconstruct the "nature of literary transmission" from Italy to France to England. Discusses Philippe de Mézières, Honorat Bovet, Jean Muret and Giovanni Moccia, and Richart Eudes. The first two had contact with Chaucer, and all reflect how he may have had access to Italian humanist learning.
