- Description
- Examines intertextual relations among the opening of TC 3, its sources in Boethius and Boccaccio, Dante's "Inferno," and Guido Guinizelli's canzone, "Al cor gentile rempaira sempre amore." Chaucer's modifications of his predecessors and Troilus's apotheosis reflect the poet's conviction that human sensual love is analogous to the "love by which the cosmos is ruled."
