Rereading Guillaume de Machaut's Vision of Love: Chaucer's 'Book of the Duchess' as 'Bricolage'

- Description
- Argues that in reading BD medieval audiences would also have reread Machaut's "Fonteinne Amoureuse" and recalled other works by Chaucer's predecessor. Chaucer's derivative version of the account of Ceyx and Alcyone "thematizes the story as a rereading," and, drawn from sections in Machaut spoken by women, the Black Knight's complaints feminize him, a radical "translation."
