- Description
- Argues that Chaucer anticipates Shakespeare and other Renaissance writers in using the "poetic motif of the multifaceted dance of Venus," exploring passages from SqT, MerT, FranT, and KnT, and arguing that the dance of Venus "could adumbrate either the pleasures of mutual love or the qualms of cuckolded husbands." In French with an English summary.
