- Description
- Thirty-two essays by various individuals and the introduction by the editors exemplify the porous nature of the traditional boundary between medieval and Renaissance in literary history and demonstrate the interpenetration of literature and history. Topics range widely; references to Chaucer and his works occur frequently. Suggestions for further reading accompany each essay, and the volume includes an index. For nine essays that pertain to Chaucer, search for Cultural Reformations under Alternative Title.
