- Description
- Focuses on TC's connections with Dante's "Convivio" and "Vita nuova." Although there is no “evidence for direct borrowing from the 'Vita nova,'” Sturges claims that Chaucer's and Dante's "sensory aspects of love" are similar in the three works, therefore suggesting the "indirect influence" of Dante's texts upon Chaucer
