- Description
- Surveys the influence on Chaucer's works (mostly TC and CT) of the writings of the Church Fathers, especially Jerome and Augustine, focusing in separate chapters on shared notions of "the treatment of marriage and virginity," divine and profane love, and virtues and vices. Links these concerns with the more pervasive notion of "'charitas' in the Augustian sense."
