Playing Chaucer at the Early Elizabethan Inns of Court.

Description: Addresses performance texts associated with the early Elizabethan Inns of Court (“closet dramas, translations, masques, and orations”), arguing that they reflect four Chaucerian "paradigms of play" ("Chaucerian Self-Fashioning," "Chaucerian Arraignments," "Masques and Orations," and "Staging The Canterbury Tales"). Comments on Chaucer's putative legal associations and works by Barnabe Googe, Jasper Heywood, Thomas Pound, George Gascoigne, Gerard Legh, and more, identifying influences of TC, KnT, ClT, HF, and other Chaucerian poems.
