- Description
- Explores the language and operation of confession--especially the importance of remembered transgressions--in Chaucer's depictions of love in TC, BD, and MLT, with Troilus, the Black Knight, and Alla as transgressors, and Pandarus, the BD narrator, and Custance as confessors. In varying ways and degrees, the transgressors in these works undergo transformation through penitential processes, exemplifying Chaucer's way of deepening the psychology of love.
