- Description
- The third of the three "notes" is entitled "III. Religious Form, Amorous Matter: Chaucer's 'Legend of Good Women' and Gower's 'Confessio Amantis'" (pp. 157-80); it documents a number of similarities of form, theme, and occasion between the two works and suggests that, in this light, Chaucer's "gentle parody" of Gower in MLP is "one friend's joke on another,"
