Abstract

Bringing to the subject his expertise in both Chaucer and 14th-century French literature, Wimsatt reveals the range and complexity of Chaucer's literary and personal relations with the important but neglected French poets of the 14th century, and reveals how the body of Middle French verse can open new avenues into the fundamental nature of Chaucer's poetry.
