- Description
- Argues that the frontispiece to TC in Cambridge, Corpus Christi College 61, was modeled on the scene in which Genius addresses Nature in the "Roman de la Rose." Focuses on the "lower register" of the frontispiece, arguing that it depicts Chaucer as a Lancastrian version of "Richard's poet," situating him within the "late medieval culture of love." The scene is appropriate to the concerns with sex and love in TC and consistent with the depiction of Richard as the God of Love in LGWP.
