Chaucer's Eagle's Ovid's Phaethon: A Study in Literary Reception
- Published
- Journal of Medieval and Renaissance Studies 11 (1981): 71-82.
- Description
- In having the Eagle retell the story of Phaethon from Ovid and from medieval interpretations of Ovid, Chaucer oversimplifies and creates conflicts or deficiencies of meaning; this allusive and contradictory treatment of literary tradition in HF signals Chaucer's method in his later poetry.
