- Description
- Describes cultural contact and marital negotiations among Plantagenets, Bohemians, and Viscontis as background to Anne of Bohemia's recurrent presence in Chaucer's works, often as an imperial daughter and/or mediatrix, and often reflecting "Marian dynamics," i.e., "instant transitioning from intimacy to awe." Includes analysis of portions of ABC, TC, LGW, KnT, ClT, and MLT as well as aspects of the Wilton Diptych and Latin verse elegies on Anne's tomb.
