Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer 1. It is needless to say that this poem is genuine, as Chaucer himself claims it twice over; once in his Prologue to the Legend of Good Women, 1.417, and again by the insertion in the poem itself of the name Geffrey (1. 729). 2. Influence of Dante. The influence of Dante is here very marked, and has been thoroughly discussed by Rambeau in English Studien, iii. 209, in an article far too important to be neglected. I can only say here that the author points out both general and particular likenesses between the two poems. In general, both are visions; both are in three books in both, the authors seek abstraction from surrounding troubles by venturing into the realm of imagination. As Dante is led by Vergil, so Chaucer is upborne by an eagle. Dante begins his third book, II Paraiso, with an invocation to Apollo, and Chaucer likewise begins his third book with the same; moreover, Chaucer´s invocation is little more than a translation of Dante´s.
