Description

This session honors one of the first patrons of the Chaucer MetaPage, John Fisher, who passed away February 17, 2015 at the age of 95. The papers will concern methods and topics of research that interested Fisher as well as Chaucer and bibliography, and the teaching of medieval studies – both central to his interests and career.
