This volume is a compilation of references and allusions to Chaucer
from the beginning of the English Civil War to the beginning of the
eighteenth century. Chaucer's Fame in Britannia 1641-1700 is a
continuation of Jackson Campbell Boswell and Sylvia Wallace
Holton's Chaucer's Fame in England: 1475-1640. Both books are meant
to supplement the equivalent parts of Caroline Spurgeon's
invaluable Five Hundred Years of Chaucer Criticism and Allusion
1357-1900. Together, the two volumes considerably expand previous
work in this area and offer a substantial contribution to
intellectual history that gives us a much fuller and more profound
understanding of Chaucer's influence (and of his uses) during the
period covered. Together, these volumes are a massive expansion of
Spurgeon's work. The references and allusions are full and, when
possible, complete. Chaucer's Fame in England: 1475-1640 has proven
to be essential for those interested in the afterlives of Chaucer,
and Chaucer's Fame in Britannia 1641-1700 will take a similar place
alongside its companion volume.
