Parallel Journeys in Chaucer's 'House of Fame'

Published
Papers on Language and Literature 12 (1976): 3-19.

Description
The juxtaposed stories of Aeneas and the dreamer are linked by parallel plots, by the segmentation of narrative units, and by verbal elements like the repetition of key rhymes. These correspondences and those of two other journeys interwoven into the parallel scheme are aligned in an effort to clarify and enrich current understanding of the poem.
