- Zucker analyzes Chaucer as rhetorician, poet, and Christian poet influenced by Boethius, Macrobius, and Dante, arguing that Chaucer writes HF as a game inventing a "refuge" world,as a serious commentary on love, and as an an autobiography of the simple Christian in search of truth. Zucker compares HF and the Rape of the Lock as two ironic versions of love.
