- Published
- Dissertation Abstracts International 22.10 (1962): 3669-70.
- Description
- Traces the development of the notion of mutability from decay to progress, with related motifs, and assesses its place in Boethius' "Consolation of Philosophy" and the "De Contemptu Mundi" of Innocent III. Then examines Chaucer's "peculiar sensibility of impermanence" as evident in several of his short poems, BD, PF, TC, and CT, especially in KnT, MLPT, MkT, and MerT.
