The Astronomy-Astrology in Chaucer's 'The Complaint of Mars'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 15 (1981): 255-66.
- Description
- Recently computerized astrological tables permit faster and more accurate computation. Chaucer describes events that took place in 1385, but the unusual planetary configurations would undoubtedly have been predicted before that date; hence one cannot with assurance date the poem on this basis.
