Description
Describes the "scope and range of Tudor responses to the Middle Ages," tracing the "literary afterlife" of Chaucer, Tudor "editions and redactions" of medieval romances, and "Elizabethan dramatizations of medieval history." Poetic and editorial treatments of Chaucer mostly "honor him for endowing England with a literary history and identity," although some "treat him more like a colleague or poetic contemporary."
