Description
As suggested by the manuscripts, Anel is a complete, finished poem (with the omission of an unchaucerian final stanza). It is concerned with the theme of poetry as an art functioning as a record of history. Its closest affiliations are with the Theban material of TC, book 5, and with LGW.
