Review
This article has two foci: first, Balestrini reviews the circumstances in which late fourteenth-century English poetry developed and how authors like Chaucer and Gower would, within the next two centuries, become canonized and recognized as founders of English literature. Second, she examines the ways these authors contributed to make this period distinctive, not only through their usage of the vernacular but also with the construction of a public voice and the erection of literature as vehicle to create a sense of belonging to a cultural community.
