Description
Although we know of no sustained aesthetic treatise dating from the Middle Ages, medieval people were lovers of beauty who conceived of worldly beauty as a reflection of divine perfection. Ginsberg comments on Chaucer's leave-taking of his poem in TC, where the Trinity is the paradigm of love that Troilus, Criseyde, and Pandarus unwittingly emulate.
