- Description
- Summarizes the principles of "alchemical theory," exploring Jungian associations and emphasizing Christian interpretations in medieval and early modern commentaries. Focusing on imagery of CYP, suggests that the canon is associated with the Antichrist as well as the devil, and that the complex ambiguities of the "last fifty-four lines" of CYT are Chaucer's critique of the medieval Church.
