- Description
- Chaucer's Anel explores the "dilemma of the modern poet in the late Middle Ages." The "Thebanness" of the text engages its Boethianism as a competing and fatalistic view of memory and history. Allusions to Statius, Corinna, Virgil, Ovid, Dante, and others reflect Chaucer's anxieties about literary origins and history. Patterson also comments on SqT, ManT, and Mars.
