- Description
- Examines how Deschamps's balade 285 is a surprisingly generous recognition and glorification of Chaucer as a pioneering translator from Latin and French into English, and as an "illuminator" or enlightener of his native England. Reveals how this praise pleased Chaucer's followers, who reinforced the critical tradition of Chaucer as the first embellisher of the English language.
