Speaking Volumes: Chaucer and the Legacy of the Troilus Frontispiece

Published
DAI 63 : 1841A, 2002.

Description
An iconographic analysis suggesting that the illustration of Chaucer reading to the court of Richard II benefited the Lancastrian campaign to recognize "English as the national language of England" (exemplified by Chaucer as supreme "user and perfecter" of the language, not by "his skill as an author per se").

Chaucer Subjects
Troilus and Criseyde.
