- Description
- Argues that the autobiographical portion of Hoccleve's "Regement of Princes" and its "praise and portrait" of Chaucer indicate that the poem is part of a broader "program of kingly self-representation" undertaken by Henry, Prince of Wales, who sponsored Hoccleve. Includes analyses of the visual and verbal representations of Chaucer in Hoccleve's poem, focusing on historical contexts.
