- Description
- Explores the emphases and nuances of early critical praise and imitation of Chaucer's poetry among writers such as John Lydgate, Stephen Hawes, the author of "The Book of Curtysye," and others. Focuses on their assessments of the "craftsmanship" of Chaucer's rhetoric, diction, and meter (including discussion of final "-e"), and their failure to match successfully the "aptness, conciseness, freshness, and polish" of his poetry.
