- Description
- The introduction to this edition of Valerius includes a section on "The Later Middle Ages: Benoit, Guido, Chaucer, and Boccaccio," discussing whether or not "medieval writers were familiar with Valerius Flaccus." Demonstrates that, although Chaucer is the only one of the four who "seems to make explicit reference" to the classical writer, the evidence that he knew the "Argonautica" 'is not convincing," despite the references to “Valerye” at LGWP, G 280, and “Argonautycon” at LGW, 1457.
