- Description
- Exemplifies the variety of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century versions of Chaucer, which reflects he "fragmentation, diversity, and complexity" of the English Reformation itself. Discusses Chaucer as an authority figure in the writings of polemical authors Job Throckmorton, John Clare, Matthew Sutcliffe, Richard Bancroft, and Samuel Harsnett, gauging their relative discernment in understanding Chaucer's works. Most surprising, perhaps, is Harsnett's use of MilT.
