The 'Locus Amoenus' and Eschatological Lore in the 'Parliament of Fowls,' 204-10
- Published
- Philological Quarterly 50 (1971): 16-22.
- Description
- Shows that Chaucer's description of the garden in PF 204-10, part of the tradition of "locus amoenus," also "engages the conventional elements and rhetorical style of medieval pictures of heaven or paradise." Such adjustments to Boccaccio's description in his "Teseida" add spiritual dimension.
