Chaucer and the Italian Trecento

Omtale

This paperback consists of a collection of essays, first published in 1983, which contribute to a debate that has been occupying scholars for many years: what did fourteenth-century Italy and its literature mean to Chaucer? These essays include source studies and comparative analyses of such masterpieces as The Divine Comedy, The Canzoniere, The Decameron and The Canterbury Tales.
