- Description
- Consciousness of the importance of the Scottish literary tradition characterizes Douglas's work. Although "The Palice of Honour" is grounded in Chaucer's HF, Douglas makes it clear that his aim is different, and the latter compares Fame to Honour unfavorably. In "Eneados" and in the Prologues to the individual books of the poem, Doublas shows interest in tradition and in the theoretical aspects of translation.
