- Description
- Attitudes toward earthly and heavenly love in Chaucer's TC and Gower's Confessio Amantis, Chaucer's and Gower's references to each other, and the presence of phrasal similarities in the two works suggest that Chaucer's ending to TC "is to be explained both as a literary outbidding, a retort to Gower, and as a sincere statement of a deep religious feeling."
