Book excerpt: Specialists of Chaucer and his contemporaries will be the audience for this volume on the poet's use of Aristotelian psychology, Boethius, Dante, and French court poets to create aspects of courtly identity through language and experience. St. John (English, U. of Leicester, UK) provides detailed analyses of the Book of the Duchess, House of Fame, Parliament of Fowls, and Legend of Good Women to develop his case. He shows that Chaucer's use of the dream vision can be interpreted as an exploration of individual subjectivity in a social context, an expression of Chaucer's Christian beliefs, and his awareness of the dialogue courtly society engenders.

Book Synopsis Love Visions by : Geoffrey Chaucer

Download or read book Love Visions written by Geoffrey Chaucer. This book was released on 2006-05-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning Chaucer's working life, these four poems build on the medieval convention of 'love visions' - poems inspired by dreams, woven into rich allegories about the rituals and emotions of courtly love. In The Book of the Duchess, the most traditional of the four, the dreamer meets a widower who has loved and lost the perfect lady, and The House of Fame describes a dream journey in which the poet meets with classical divinities. Witty, lively and playful, The Parliament of Birds details an encounter with the birds of the world in the Garden of Nature as they seek to meet their mates, while The Legend of Good Women sees Chaucer being censured by the God of Love, and seeking to make amends, for writing poems that depict unfaithful women. Together, the four create a marvellously witty, lively and humane self-portrait of the poet.
