- Description
- Dahlberg suggests that "Chaucer's use of first person reflects in its stylistic variations the ambiguities of love" and that "the serious third-person poet of the Boethian short poems is essentially the same as the...first-person narrator or persona of the dream visions, 'Troilus and Criseyde', and even 'The Canterbury Tales'." Dahlberg concentrates on the "thematic doubleness of love in a land of unlikeness" in the Proem to Bk. 3 of TC.
