- Description
- Reads Henryson's pastoral "Robene and Makyne" as a burlesque, attributing its generic variety to the poet's attempt to emulate Chaucer's "virtuosity," and exploring several instances where Henryson follows Chaucer's steps more closely, treating most extensively the influence of WBPT on Makyne's desire to "rule men" in Henryson's poem.
