- Description
- Examines E. K.'s commentary on Chaucer in Spenser's "The Shepheardes Calender," arguing that by "associating him with a historically antecedent but culturally current poetic paradigm, E. K. represents Chaucer as a writer who proleptically embraces the literary values of his sixteenth-century admirers"---"a writer who participates meaningfully in both classical and native English poetic traditions." Focuses on Speght’s 1598 and 1602 editions of Chaucer's "Workes."
