Description
In a section exploring "epic masculinity" in the age of Marlowe, suggests that Chaucer's depiction of Aeneas in LGW and HF anticipates humanist "rethinking" about the hero, that Chaucer "greatly influenced" Marlowe's depiction of him in "Dido, Queen of Carthage," and that Marlowe "extends Chaucer's reversal of the usual conclusion that passion corrodes duty."
