- Description
- Clarifies the interdependence of romantic love and the ascent of the mind to God in medieval theology, philosophy, and Chaucer's works, especially HF, PF, LGW, and portions of CT. Argues that many of Chaucer's characters "with specious critical reputations, such as the Wife of Bath, the Pardoner, Pandarus and Criseyde, may have more benevolent, Christian inclinations than previously supposed."
