- Description
- Focuses on the function of reality and fiction in Chaucer's BD as influenced by Ovid, Boccaccio's "Amorosa visione," Guillaume de Machaut's "Dit de la Fonteinne Amoureuse," and "Jugement du roy de Behaigne."
- Topics include the relations among sight, vision, and illusion; the nature of oral exchanges (narrative, dialogue, confession, revelation); and how staging represents the vision and its images. The Black Knight's experience gradually awakens his poetic potential and a more perceptive vision of the truth of human living.
