Title
Chaucer and Capgrave's 'Life of St. Katherine'

Published
American Benedictine Review 33 (1982): 276-91.

Description
The innovative material in the first three books of Capgrave's "Life" is indebted to the fifteenth century's interest in Chaucer's "elevated" and pious passages, especially those in TC. Stylistically, however, Capgrave's attempt to emulate his master largely fails.
