- Description
- Eleven essays and an introduction (by Davis) deal with Chaucer's concern with poetic fame and/or with his poetic reputation among his contemporaries, down to the twenty-first century. The introduction (pp. 1–19) describes the essays and comments on poetic fame in HF and LGW as the topic relates to Chaucer's omissions and elisions, his uses of names and his (non-)naming of sources, and his relations with several works that influenced him, especially Boccaccio's "e mulieribus claris." Includes a bibliography and index. For the eleven essays that pertain to Chaucer, search for Chaucer and Fame under Alternative Title.
