Description
Tallies 1,060 entries that identify references to, allusions to, and echoes of Chaucer and his works in books published from 1641 through 1700, with an appendix of 131 references and allusions from 1475 through 1640, all in addition to or expansions of Caroline Spurgeon's venerable bibliography, already extended by Boswell and Sylvia Wallace Holton in "Chaucer's Fame in England" (2004). Entries are arranged chronologically by date of publication and, within years, alphabetically. They provide, where appropriate, quotations from the sources, original STC numbers, Wing's STC numbers, and UMI references; headnotes indicate who discovered the references. The volume includes an introduction by Gordon Braden on Chaucer's reception; a list of STC books cited; and indexes of Chaucer's works, his life and literary reputation, and authors and topics.
