- Description
- Wallace reviews letters between Boccaccio and Petrarch, suggesting that it is not unreasonable to "consider Petrarch and Boccaccio toiling, sparring, and loving one another in bonds suggestive of matrimony" (210). Aligns events of the Griselda tales with events discussed in Petrarch's "Seniles" XVII and XVIII; "Chaucer found his truest imaginative kinship with poets outside of England" (215).
