Chaucer and the Low Countries
- Published
- DAI 31.08 (1971): 4137.
- Description
- Studies English/Flemish relations and Chaucer's contact with the Low Countries as a diplomat and as Controller of Customs, gauging the extent to which this contact affected his fiction in SqT, MerT, and WBP, and the ways that his "realism" can be aligned with "Flemish emblematic sacramental" art. Includes appendixes that discuss Chaucer's relationships with Hainault poets and his references to the Low Countries.
