- Description
- Examines "The Kingis Quair" and "The Testament of Cresseid," the 'two Scottish works that respond most fully' to Chaucer’s corpus, demonstrating how these poems rework Chaucerian verse and its framings for new and possibly subversive ends. Compares the allusive nature of "Quair"’s engagement to Chaucerian conventions and mediation with the openly responsive nature of Henryson's reframing.
