Industry Reviews
"An excellent book on the reception of Chaucer's writings in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. His central claim is `that Chaucer--as author, as "laureate," and as "father" of English poetry--is a construction of his later fifteenth-century scribes, readers, and poetic imitators.' This claim is pursued with great energy and erudition, and with a subtlety and versatility of argumentative maneuver that make the book very readable as well as enormously rich in suggestion."
Pearsall
"A brilliant reassessment of the Chaucerian tradition during the fifteenth century.... Described as `a book about endings,' in which Chaucer's envoy is construed as the dominant trope in later moments of dedication, closure, and subjection to readerly correction, it is really a book about beginnings--new ways to discuss literary history, the influence of tradition, and the cultural status of the author."
