Liturgy as a Common Source for Chaucer and Deschamps
- Published
- Bulletin des Anglicistes Medievistes 48 (1995): 23-43.
- Description
- The liturgy is omnipresent in the texts of medieval writers, including lay writers, although its influence is often indirect.
- Deschamps, Chaucer, and their fellow poets were proud of their pagan learning and eager to display it, although Chaucer felt some remorse; hence, his palinode at the end of TC and his Ret at the end of CT.
- The conclusion of TC unites elements from Dante and the liturgy.
- Chaucer Subjects
- Troilus and Criseyde.
- Chaucer's Retraction.
