"What shal I calle thee? What is thy name?" Thomas Hoccleve and the Making of "Chaucer."
- Published
- New Medieval Literatures 16 (2016): 250-76.
- Description
- Investigates the "moral version of Chaucer that emerges" in Hoccleve's "Regiment of Princes," arguing that it is a kind of poetic authority produced "in the face of an increasingly militant and repressive English Church," and that, unlike other early versions of Chaucer, it reflects a growing international trend in Christianizing poetic predecessors.
