Reflections on D. W. Robertson, Jr., and 'Exegetical Criticism'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 40 (2006): 311-33.
- Description
- A search of contemporary Chaucerian criticism for signs of whether D. W. Robertson's "exegetical criticism" continues to generate important work yields the conclusion "no, yes, and perhaps": "no," in the wake of the ascendance of historicist criticism; "yes," in the form of work that establishes new exegetical categories; and "perhaps," in work that corrects, "deconstructs," and provides "new syntheses" of Robertson's legacy.
