- Description
- Changes in literary practice in the late fifteenth century helped modify reception of Chaucer's works. Remembered as a personal figure to be reckoned with by Hoccleve and Lydgate, Chaucer--like his works--was later objectified in the "philological" practices of early print culture, reaching a kind of humanist apotheosis in the 1532 edition of William Thynne.
