Description
Klitgård assesses the translation practices of two Danish translations of Chaucer: T. C. Bruun's 1823 translation "The Wife of Slagelse; After Pope's The Wife in Bath," which follows the modernizations of Dryden and Pope; and Charlotte Louise Westergaard's 1853 booklet, which places Chaucer as the first British author.
