Kathleen A. Bishop, ed. Standing in the Shadow of the Master? Chaucerian Influences and Interpretations (Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars, 2010), pp. 46-64.

Description
Hordis argues that Henryson's poem aggressively explores Chaucer's authorial authority. The text was produced in a time of emergent efforts by the Scots to construct a national identity, and it questions English literary influence.
