Chaucer was perceived as the father of English poetry, and his
works gave rise to a diversity of traditions of both creative
response and critical commentary, to subsequent 'Chaucerian'
authors and to a body of comment about his writings. This book is
the first to describe Chaucer's literary influence across a wide
range of writers and periods. It takes as its theme the variety of
responses to Chaucer or 'Chaucer Traditions', and addresses topics
of special interest arising from the effects Chaucer's work had on
subsequent writers in the three centuries leading up to Dryden.
Each essay focuses on a certain writer or literary tradition
discussing these in the context of Chaucer's work and its
influence. The result is an important collection of essays which
will be of interest to all teachers and students of Chaucer, as
well as to scholars of poetry in later periods.
