- Description
- Compares and contrasts Immerito's and E. K.'s attitudes toward language and archaism in Edmund Spenser's "Shepheardes Calender," with particular attention to how the "overly generous glossing" of the text presumes a "reader's familiarity with medieval verse, particularly that of Chaucer." Comments on Thomas Speght's approach to "hard words" in his 1598 edition of Chaucer's works, and includes illustrations.
