- Description
- Focuses on TC as an example of Chaucer's outlook during his "Italian period," charting his borrowings and "digressions" from Boccaccio's "Il Filostrato." the influence of Boethius, and courtly love. Describes the attitudes toward Fortune of the major characters, especially Criseyde's "tenderhearted" blindness to it, and suggests Chaucer views Fortune as the "agent of Destiny." Also comments on KnT and LGW, suggesting the latter is a throwback to Chaucer "French period."
