- Description
- Focusing on TC, argues that Chaucer relied heavily on previous works, primarily Dante's "Divina commedia," for theological and linguistic direction. Contends that Chaucer, like Dante, does not merely regurgitate biblical narratives, but expands on them, and states that Chaucer's works display a sincere devotion to the Virgin, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection, identified "as characteristically Dantean." Also discusses ABC and briefly mentions SNT.
