Scholastic Logic in Chaucer's "House of Fame."
- Published
- Chaucer Review 1.3 (1967): 181-84.
- Description
- Suggests that the three books of HF reflect the three medieval "linguistic arts," or trivium, focusing on how book 3 reflects the techniques of logic or dialectic, depicting the pros and cons of fame and "refining it into a philosophic idea." The inconclusiveness of the poem indicates the insufficiency of the trivium.
