Thematic Continuity in Chaucer's Early Poetry
- Published
- DAI 31.05 (1970): 2379A.
- Description
- Identifies a "significant continuity of thought" in BD, HF, and PF: "their shared concern" with Nature and Fortune as principles of order and fertility, on the one hand, and disorder on the other. Traces the roots of these concerns in Boethius, Alain de Lille, and Jean de Meun, and explores their presence and emphases in Chaucer's early dream visions.
