- Description
- Considers how Edmund Spenser's "Shepheardes Calender" "influenced the reception and presentation of Chaucer in the late Tudor period," focusing particularly on how the editorial apparatus of Thomas Speght's "Works" influenced "two of the most significant preoccupations" of E. K.'s commentary in Spenser: "Chaucer as a figure embodying both classical and vernacular poetic traditions," and "Chaucer's language as archaic and potentially difficult for readers."
