- Description
- Bishop assesses how the apparatus ("peritext") in Speght's edition of Chaucer's Works evokes Chaucer as a living presence and situates his poetry in the midst of Tudor politics. Although Speght derives much of his peritext from Thynne and Stow, his additions intensify Chaucer's role as father and as living voice.
