- Description
- Identifies parallels between Chaucer's and Spenser's depictions of ranges and varieties of love-relationships in PF; TC; CT; and "The Faerie Queene," books III–IV. Introduced via allusion to FranT, Britomart is central to Spenser's collection of "diverse pageants" of love, here linked to the "generative sexuality" of Boethian, neoplatonic love, and recurrently resonant with Chaucer's similar "normative array" of female-focused love narratives, many with specific echoes.
