- Description
- Describes how Chaucer and John Gower appear as two poets/storytellers in "Greenes Vision" (1592), offering "authorization and legitimization" to Robert Greene's work "within a specifically English tradition," colored by "ambivalent nostalgia for an idealised literary past." Comments on Greene's possible knowledge of Ret, on his possible familiarity with portraits of Chaucer and Gower, and on "The Cobbler of Canterbury" as a "burlesque" of CT.
