'Many a Song and Many a Leccherous Lay' - Tradition and Individuality in Chaucer''s Lyric Poetry

Summary

Originally published in 1992. Although apparently much appreciated in his own time, Chaucer’s lyrics have been the most neglected of his poetic productions. The chapters here offer an excellent introduction to each poem, the important literary issues surrounding it, and Ruud’s own clear style and balanced judgment.
