This study charts relationships between moral claims and audience
response in medieval exemplary works by such poets as Chaucer,
Gower, Robert Henryson, and several anonymous scribes. In late
medieval England, exemplary works make one of the strongest
possible claims for the social value of poetic fiction. Studying
this debate reveals a set of local literary histories, based on
both canonical and non-canonical texts, that complicate received
notions of the didactic Middle Ages, the sophisticated Renaissance,
and the fallow fifteenth century in between.
