- Description
- Describes scholarly accomplishments and critical trends in Chaucer studies between 1940 and 1968—editions, source-and-analogue studies, and psychological, theological, and philosophical approaches. Explores the concept of the doubleness in love (two Venuses, her two sons, Ovid's "twin Loves" and Augustinian "caritas" and "cupitas"), applying the concept analytically to KnT and commenting on it elsewhere in CT.
