Le reve de femmes vertues de Chaucer
- Published
- Leo Carruthers, ed. Reves et propheties au Moyen Age (London and New York: Longman, 1998), pp. 53-68.
- Description
- Examines the allegorical purposes of LGWP, assessing the dream structure and the importance of the dreamer's awakening at the end of the G version.
- The poet grants the notion of authority its due place and appears to submit to it, while at the same time seeking a way to override it, symbolically at least. Chaucer thus creates a new kind of space--at once dream-like and realistic.
