- Description
- Surveys the influence of courtly love on Burne-Jones, arguing for the special influence of Chaucer. LGW and love poetry inspired early Burne-Jones; his painting "Laus Veneris" is linked to MercB. The lady in "An Idyl" suggests Emelye of KnT. Like Chaucer (and William Morris), Burne-Jones consistently depicted idealized courtly women.
