- Description
- To understand Chaucer as a political court poet and a philosophical poet, we must read his prose as well as his poetry. Wong considers variations between Bo and its Boethian source, Mel as a model for how Chaucer treats his sources, Astr as a source of information, and the roles of the lost translation of Innocent's "De miseria condicionis humanae" in MLT and PardT.
