Published
Chaucer Review 10 (1976): 279-86.

Description
In Scog and PF, Chaucer creates a vision of the world of love through which he may comment on his own craft. The poet-narrator's being uninitiated to love is a quality ideally suitable to this double focus on poetry and love.

Chaucer Subjects
Envoy to Scogan.
Parliament of Fowls.
