Description
Examining how post-Chaucerian writers and critics even to the present day have added and responded to CT, Higl argues that their works are analogous to the pilgrims' fictive contest. The dissertation assesses the evidence of reception in select CT manuscripts (particularly reception of the Wife of Bath), reactions to CkT up through the twenty-first century, Lydgate's uses of CT, and Beryn and the Plowman.
