Chaucer, Dante and Boccaccio
- Published
- Piero Boitani, ed. Chaucer and the Italian Trecento (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1983), pp. 89-113.
- Description
- Chaucer rarely adopted inappropriate Danteisms from Boccaccio. Some of the differences between Chaucer's TC and KnT and Boccaccio's "Filostrato" and "Teseida" may be attributed to Chaucer's understanding and appreciation of Dante.
