- Description
- Explores Deschamps's Ballade 285 in praise of Chaucer in the "context of late fourteenth-and early fifteenth-century humanist epistolary exchanges . . . including the polemic over 'The Romance of the Rose," and particularly . . . the exchange that occurred in 1403 between Deschamps and Christine de Pizan." Through his ballade Deschamps sought "to establish a literary friendship and an exchange of poetic writings with Chaucer, whom Deschamps perceived as a fellow humanist poet-translator."
