- Description
- Surveys Chaucer's career as a translator and the varieties of his "translational practice," focusing on his literal translations and how his "guise of the slavishly faithful translator" sometimes enables his "transformative adaptation." Considers Chaucer's translations from Latin, French, and Italian, with a section on his rhyme royal translation in the CT.
