Chaucer's "House of Fame" and the "Ovide moralisé."
- Published
- Comparative Literature 20 (1968): 254-64.
- Description
- Shows that Chaucer's depiction of Fame in HF has several parallels with the depiction of her in the French "Ovide moralisé": use of anaphora in amplification of Ovid's original, Fame's role of judge and her "aura of authority," and overt concern with the "problem of conflicting authorities."
