Translations of Chaucer and Virgil

Bruce E. Graver's edition of Translations of Chaucer and Virgil by William Wordsworth will be of considerable interest to Chaucerians. Graver gives a full account of the textual history of Wordsworth's modernizations... The reader is able to trace both composition and the revisions, and to perceive the extent of Wordsworth's respect for the medieval poet's idiom and diction....The scholarship.will generally advance the study of Chaucer's reception in the post-medieval era.
