- Description
- The tension between sensual love and orthodox truth in TC can be seen in nascent form in Boccaccio's "Filocolo," even though Chaucer depends for his plot on "Filostrato." The tension is rooted in Dante's "Comedy" and in the "Roman de la Rose," but Chaucer, Boccaccio, and Petrarch negotiate it in ways that can be thought characteristic of the late-medieval period.
