- Description
- Examines Chaucer's views on knowing and loving as they are connected and opposed through sight imagery.
- Surveys in individual chapters the philosophical and literary backgrounds of such connection and opposition and assesses their roles in the tradition of medieval love poetry.
- In Chaucer's works, the interrelations among love, knowledge, and sight are particularly self-reflexive, here examined in BD, HF, PF, LGW, and, most extensively, TC, KnT, MerT, and SNT receive the most attention among the tales of CT.
