- Description
- Describes the nature and legacy of the dream vision genre and assesses Chaucer's four dream poems (BD, HF, PF, and LGW), exploring the dynamics of courtliness and learning, experience and authority, endings and implications, and--especially--masculine and feminine. Comments on each of Chaucer's dream visions and reads LGW as an extension of his concerns in other poems, assessing details of his legends of Cleopatra, Dido, Philomela, Phyllis, and Hypermnestra.
