- Description
- Reexamines the anonymous and neglected Chaucerian "Isle of Ladies," accepted as a work by Chaucer from the time of Speght's 1598 edition of the works of Chaucer until its rejection by Skeat in his edition. Uses "Isle of Ladies" to reread Chaucer's BD and finds that its relationship with BD parallels Chaucer's own rereading and retelling of earlier works.
