Excerpt from Studies in Chaucer's House of Fame
A confirmation of the previous discussion occurs in Part IV., where in keeping with the theory advanced in Part I., and with its partial justification in Part III., I present an explanation of the inner meaning of the Bous of Fame.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between Chaucer's four dream poemsâ"The Book of the Duchesse, The House of Fame, The Parlement of Foules, and the Prologue to the Legendâ"and the Old French love-vision literature of the 13th and 14th centuries. After providing summaries of Old French love-visions, the author argues that this literary genre, and not dream-visions more broadly, supplied the structure and subject matter of Chaucer's vision poems. He concludes that despite the influence of Old French literary tradition on his work, Chaucer transformed his source material through his own imagination and poetic talent. This study offers a fresh and detailed analysis of Chaucer's significant literary debt to Old French love-vision romance. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
