- Description
- Accepts that much fifteenth-century admiration of Chaucer praises his rhetoric and "ornate eloquence," but explores comments that convey wider, more sophisticated appreciation of his stylistic range and philosophical depth, considering comments by Lydgate, Skelton, James I, Deschamps, Hoccleve, Usk, Hawes, Bokenham, Dunbar, Douglas, Walton, Ashby, and Henryson.
