- Description
- Contends that Deschamps's "Ballade to Chaucer" alludes to a poetic debate between Philippe de Vitry and Jean de le Mote, to Ovidian exile, and to a poet's oeuvre as a garden. Claims that Deschamps's emphasis on translation and use of French and classical sources in "Ballade to Chaucer" "does vital cross-cultural work," and has implications for the reading of BD and LGW.
