What Did Renaissance Readers Write in Their Printed Copies of Chaucer?
- Published
- Library, 7th ser., 9 (2008): 3-36.
- Description
- Annotations by 16th- and 17th-century readers show an ongoing interest in Chaucer as a source of sententiae and a focus of antiquarian interest; they also shed light on the role of women readers and on the household as a reading center. Their net effect is to confirm and refine our sense of Chaucer's authority.
