- Description
- Seeks a "fuller understanding of Chaucer's meaning," exploring the "numerous small additions, arrangements, omissions, [and] constant alterations" made in his uses of Boccaccio's "Filostrato" in TC. Focuses on the vivifying, individuating characterizations of the three main characters as they relate to "issues and forces that concern all mankind"--fate, fortune, and destiny--evoked in highly rhetorical passages and those derived from Boethius.
