- Description
- Examines "the paradigm of consoler-consolation-consolee" in The Consolation of Philosophy, Roman de la Rose, Remede de Fortune, and TC. The Consolation is "sub-text or perhaps super-text." The other texts mediate in Chaucer's adaptation of Boethius. Wimsatt cites a passage on marital friendship in FranT as a case in which the Remede "acts as intermediary between the Roman and a work of Chaucer."
