- Description
- Explores how Tudor editions of Chaucer and works by John Gower and John Lydgate "mediate" the presentation of Chaucer and his "authorial identity" in Edmund Spenser's "Shepheardes Calender," arguing that Spenser depicts Chaucer not only as the preeminent gifted English poet, but also as the translator, interpreter, and mediator of the traditions that went before him--a "go-between" who is a "partner of Pandarus."
