- Description
- Wallace considers Eustace Deschamps's attitudes toward the English occupation of Calais and reads Deschamps's ballade 285 (which praises Chaucer) as a "spirited act of reverse or returned colonization." Identifies parallels in the careers of Deschamps and Chaucer, plus the two writers' relations with Oton de Granson.
