- Description
- Presents overlap between Chaucer's writings and the writings of Thomas Nashe, particularly the late sixteenth-century poem "The Choice of Valentines," which is "considered to be the most pornographic piece of writing to survive" Shakespeare's time. Argues that Nashe's poem is connected to Chaucer in that "both writers often taught traditional Christian messages by using highly ironic methods."
