Description
Contrasts the form of Anel with that of Mars and compares its form and themes with those of Chaucer's dream visions and its characterizations with those in KnT. Also hypothesizes what Chaucer may have intended to do further in Anel with the source material from Boccaccio's "Teseida" and why he abandoned the project.
