- Description
- Focuses on nineteenth-century critical attention to Chaucer as childlike, simple, or fresh for the ways that it contributed to later inattention to Chaucer as a religious poet, particularly inattention to Chaucer as an English Catholic poet. Examines commentary on Chaucer by Wordsworth, R. W. Horne, E. B. Browning, Ruskin, Arnold, Adolphus Ward, and more for the ways they align or separate "young" Chaucer and "old" Catholicism.
