Chaucer and Spenser

 

Studying for my upcoming conference talk and came across this gem:

"Spenser, almost alone among Elizabethans, drank deeply from Chaucer's poetry and shared his vision."
J.A.W. Bennett, The Parlement of Foules: An Interpretation

You know Spenser's Faerie Queene is going to come up in my talk, right? :-D 

This conference is going to be fantastic. Jason Baxter, author of The Medieval Mind of C.S. Lewis, will be speaking in addition to Angelina Stanford, Thomas Banks, and Jenn Rogers. Read more about it here.
