- Description
- Comments on Chaucer's possible access to Dante's works before traveling to Italy in 1372, and explores the "literary relationship of the two writers," arguing that "Chaucer drew on Dante not heavily but over many years," principally for the Ugolino episode of MkT, along with "striking images" and the "lyric expression of religious adoration" found in the "Commedia," but also for the "discussion of nobleness" in "Convivio" 4.
