- Description
- Examines the role of lists, themes of order and disorder, epistemology and poetics, and tensions between household economy and monetized mercantile accretion (chremastistics) in Douglas's "Palice of Honour" as a response to similar concerns in Chaucer’s HF and his other dream poems. Argues that, especially in Venus's mirror, Douglas exceeds Chaucer's concern with excessiveness and destabilizes the "genre of faculty allegory."
