- Description
- Collects ten essays by various authors and an introduction by Perry, together showing that, in his "Fortunes Stabilnes," Charles d’Orléans was "one of the great formal innovators of English poetry," examining the genres he engaged, his metrical dexterity, emotional intensity, lexical richness, and codicological contexts. Eight of the ten essays gauge Charles's innovations in light of Chaucer's influence (BD most extensively), while also attending to the influence of Gower, Lydgate, and others. Includes a partial index.
