The Chaucerian Narrator in Spenser's 'Shepheardes Calendar'
- Published
- Southern Quarterly12.3 (1974): 189-201.
- Description
- Argues that Chaucer's influence on Edmund Spenser's "Shepheardes Calendar" is "deeper and far more extensive" than previously recognized. In particular, manipulations of the "hidden narrator" in Spenser are similar to similar techniques in CT and LGW, and Spenser's "concern with poetry and love" parallels the similar concern found among the dream-vision narrators of BD, PF, HF, and LGW.
