Chaucer and Italian Textuality - K. P. (Sykes Research Fellow in Italian Studies Clarke - Bog

K. P. Clarke explores how Chaucer's work was affected by the tradition of commentary on or glossing of vernacular poetry, and how this context affected the layout and therefore the reading of texts within specific manuscripts. He seeks to understand Chaucer's Italian sources, such as Dante and Boccaccio, as they were read by Chaucer himself.
