- Description
- Argues that Shakespeare's exploration of the "nature of literary adaptation-as-innovation" in "The Rape of Lucrece"--conducted by means of “competing versions of the Troy story"--engages with the "Chaucerian poetics" of HF and TC, particularly "Chaucer's thoughts on veiled and veiling authorities" evident in the ekphrastic account of Troy in HF.
