- PMLA 129.03 (2014): 349-64.
- Description
- Refers to Chaucer throughout, first by supposing what his early education was like, then by addressing the late-medieval relation between Latin and English as evident in HF, NPT, and ManT. Argues that "the work of Chaucer, Langland, and Gower exemplifies what literary production can owe to the most basic forms of elementary learning."
