- Description
- Considers the importance of Spain in Chaucer's life, in the politics of his age, and in his literary allusions, arguing that Chaucer could read Spanish and that his familiarity with the tale collections of Petrus Alfonsi and Don Juan Manuel "would have increased his receptivity" to Boccaccio's works later in his career.
