Title
Haunted Hoccleve? The Regiment of Princes, the Troilean Intertext, and Conversations with the Dead

Published
Chaucer Review 43 (2008): 103-39.

Description
Hoccleve's authorial identity develops through "borrowings and echoes" derived from TC: "Boethian dialogue; diseased language; and gendered subjects." These allusions work as conjurings--understood as both invocation and exorcism--of the "spectral Chaucerian corpus."
