Description
Assesses "Dryden's conception of Chaucer," his poems, and the "purpose guiding" the changes he made while modernizing WBT, KnT, NPT, and the apocryphal "Flower and the Leaf." Also discusses Dryden's "Character of the Good Parson" and "Hind and the Panther" and gauges the "unexpected" degree of change he made to Chaucer's works in light of eighteenth-century attitudes and reception of Chaucer.
