- Description
- Rejects the argument that Chaucer abandoned LGW out of weariness or boredom on the grounds that Chaucer had long been interested in classical love stories, that he took time to revise LGWP, that he employed abbreviation and "occupatio" effectively in the legends, that his claims of weariness are rhetorical (and found elsewhere in his poetry), that his use of comedy is characteristic, and that LGW shares its unfinished status with HF, CT, CkT, and SqT.
