- Description
- Looks at the "transition of the invented textual presence of Chaucer in the late Middle Ages to the invented personal presence of the poet in the early modern period." Comments on several spurious links between tales in the Lansdowne 851 manuscript of CT, by exploring various editions and uses of Chaucer's works in early modern England (especially Shakespeare and Fletcher's "Two Noble Kinsmen"), and discussing the use of Chaucer's "celebrity" in "Chaucer's Incensed Ghost" (1617), Richard Brathwait's anti-tobacco tract.
