- Description
- Beginning with Boethius's feminine Philosophia, Simeroth examines "her" transformation in such texts as the "Roman de la Rose" (where she becomes Reason); Boccaccio's "Convivio" (where she is a gentle lady); and HF, where Chaucer merges Philosophia with "a monstrous Lady Fame," revealing a "dark vision of Boethius."
