- Description
- Surveys the conventions of English and French courtly literature, emphasizing backgrounds, setting, plot structure, the contributions of Machaut and Froissart, and the influence of the "Pearl." A closing chapter on BD explores how and in what ways Chaucer reacted to "didactic courtly love poetry" that has "lost touch with reality."
