- Description
- Comments generally on Chaucer's knowledge of Patristic writings by way of handbooks and florilegia, and characterizes Chaucer's outlook as distinctly Augustinian and Boethian, especially his sense of order and beauty and his pervasive "Christian forbearance that is both pathetic in an Augustinian perspective and poignant in its Boethian detachment."
