Paths of Long Study: Reading Chaucer and Christine de Pizan in Tandem

Published
Studies in the Age of Chaucer 28 (2006): 1-40.

Description
Coletti compares HF with Christine de Pizan's "Livre du chemin de long estude," exploring their differing comments on and responses to their shared literary culture. Through parallel narrative gestures, the two poets consider textual authority, reader responsiveness, political roles of their art, vernacularity, and gender. The early Tudor association of the works is indicated by their inclusion in Richard Pynson's Boke of Fame (1526).
