- Description
- Describes how in the first version of his "Chronicle" John Hardyng was influenced by Lydgate in his descriptions of royal power and social harmony--moments of "great joy and triumph"--while depending upon Chaucer and Walton for his concern with "great tragedy, loss, and change." He also followed others in using Chaucer's rhyme royal stanzas to write "commemorative" verse.
