- Description
- Exemplifies ways in which medieval "romance writing takes up the notion that physiological processes and exterior influences can interweave to produce powerful psychological experiences," showing how the "creative possibilities of interweaving the supernatural with psychology" are found in Chaucer's works: BD, HF, PF, KnT, NPT, and TC, with comments on PhyT, MLT, and SNT. Focuses on dreams, but not exclusively.
