- Description
- Examines questions of autobiography, authorship, legacy, and the "Fürstenspiegel" genre in Thomas Hoccleve's "Regiment of Princes," with attention to its manuscript presentations and to its images of Chaucer and of Hoccleve himself, discussing the "minor differences" in the versions of the Chaucer portraits and their "major consequences for the text-image relation." Includes comments on the putative accuracy of Hoccleve's portrait of Chaucer, other portraits of him, and a "clear reference" to the Wife of Bath in Hoccleve's poem. Based on the author's 2014 dissertation, Freie Universität.
