- Abstract: Deschamps’ ballade 285 is a surprisingly generous recognition and glorification of Chaucer as a pioneering translator or transplanter of learning from Latin and French into English and an “illuminator” or enlightener of his native England. Such high praise pleased, rather than irked, Chaucer’s immediate followers, who echoed and were inspired by it to found the critical tradition of Chaucer as the first embellisher of the English language.
