- Description
- Best known for his "Survey of London," John Stow produced an edition of Chaucer's works in 1561 that influenced Elizabethan readers, even though it is largely a reprint of William Thynne's edition of 1532 (1550 reprint) that adds several works, authentic and spurious. Hudson clarifies the manuscripts that Stow owned or knew of, and gauges Stow's influence on Chaucer's legacy. Includes an appendix of works what Stow added to Thynne's edition.
