- Published
- Chaucer Review 27 (1993): 219-27.
- Description
- The "Canticus Troili," Chaucer's adaptation of Petrarch's Sonnet 132, alters words and phrases from the original and concentrates on Petrarch's content rather than his form. But it also contains syntax and subject matter from Bo, which Chaucer had previously translated and was weaving thematically throughout TC.
