'Love's Altar Is the Forest Glade' : Chaucer in Light of Dafydd ap Gwilym
- Published
- Nottingham Medieval Studies 43: 172-88, 1999.
- Description
- Explores how Dafydd's "connections, and the lack of them, with Chaucer . . . illuminate the English author." The poets share modal and conceptual similarities, but they differ in style and genre. Chaucer is less a poet of nature than is Dafydd and less a social and poetic revolutionary.
