- Description
- Questions the idea that Chaucer's relationship with the alliterative verse of his contemporaries, such as the "Gawain"-poet and Langland, was antagonistic. Instead, suggests that the alliterative and the London poets participate in a shared metrical phonology and a range of metrical choices far more complex than a simple binary between long-line alliterative and decasyllabic verse.
