- Description
- Kaylor contrasts themes and techniques of Dante's "Commedia" and Chaucer's TC (and CT), suggesting that a shift in "frame-of-reference" occurred between the times of the two poets. Dante is concerned with universal, absolute, and transcendent phenomena; Chaucer, with particular, relative, and temporal ones. Perhaps because of fourteenth-century calamities, the latter poet is more Einsteinian and global.
