- Description
- Chaucer influenced Douglas in many ways: "as a model for diction and register, as a source of phrase and adapter of syntax, as an establisher of the Dream Poem...; Chaucer's "House of Fame" stands as the inspiration for Douglas's own first long poem, his "Palice of Honour." Chaucer's influence on Douglas was tempered by Virgil's.
