- Description
- Explores examples of "friendship, felicity or joy, love, fellowship, and 'compaignye' (company, companionship, community)" in Chaucer's works through a Neoplatonic lens. Focuses on "Chaucer's Boethianism" by offering perspectives on Chaucer's own philosophical search for truth in his works. Emphasizes how his reliance on Boethius's "Consolation of Philosophy" helped to shape Chaucer's philosophy and characters in CT, TC, and LGWP.
