- Description
- Advocates a "contextual" approach to source study, arguing that several discussions of Dante's influence on Chaucer depend upon weak correspondences, better treated as shared tradition than direct influence. Discusses the lists of lovers in PF and BD, the treatment of Jason in LGW, and the "firste stok" and treatment of gentility in Gent.
