- Description
- Investigates the uses and functions of allegory, dialogue, and symbolism in Boethius's "Consolation," Alan of Lille's "De Planctu Naturae," landscapes in twelfth-century literature, and PF, arguing that the latter is a "triumph of allegorical technique made possible by Chaucer's mastery" of the "ideas and methods" of his predecessors.
