Armstrong finds that French poets from the early 15th to the early 16th centuries give the strong impression of belonging to a self-conscious professional community. Their work is not merely influenced by existing poetry, he says, it is often explicitly conceived and presented as a response to it, and manuscripts or books would circulate with both works in them. He explores the Querelle de la Belle Dame sans Mercy, bouts of moralizing in didactic poetry after Chartier, Charles d'Orléans and his coterie, and France verses Burgundy in swords and stanzas.
