Title
'Craft' and 'Sentence' in Chaucer's House of Fame'

Published
DAI 32.06 (1971): 3255A.

Description
Rejects the traditional three-part structure of HF and assesses the "structural function of its two juxtaposed narratives," i.e., the summary of Virgil's "Aeneid" and the journey, considering the poem's relation with Dante's "Divine Comedy, the "Aeneid," and the tension between allegorical and romantic understandings of Virgil's work.
