Synopsis
Excerpt from The Influence of Statius Upon Chaucer
Two well known forms of the Theban legend in the Middle Ages have also been considered, viz. Boccaccio's Teseide and the Old French anonymous Roman dc Thebes. It will thus be seen that my object was to determine the full extent of the influence of Statius upon Chaucer, by indicating not only what is due directly to the Thebaid, but also what comes from it indirectly through these two romantic intermediary forms of the legend.
