- Description
- Studies uses of and attitudes toward vernacular English in late-medieval and early modern writing, literary and religious, from Wyclif and the Lollards to Tyndale and More. Includes comparison of ManT with Gower's analogous Tale of Phebus and Cornide, finding Chaucer to be much concerned with freedom of speech than Gower is.
