- Description
- Treats Boccaccio's romances, concentrating on "Filostrato" and "Teseida," "as if they were intralingual translations,' by analyzing the collusion and contravention of the narratives' aims by their own prologues. These prologues, apparently unknown or ignored by Chaucer, "nevertheless produced poems that are [Walter] Benjamin-like translations of them."
