Chaucer's Boccaccio

Sources for Troilus and the Knight's and Franklin's Tales

by Nicholas R. Havely

  • Description
  • Reviews
The notes are a model of economy... The introduction is quite superb... The volume as a whole is a worthy addition to a series which has already begun to establish high expectations. TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION SUPPLEMENT

Chaucer made extensive use of Boccacio's romances as a basis for his major works, and any analysis of his handling of his sources must depend on a knowledge of the Italian poet's work.
"`His Filostrato has far more energy and subtlety than the R.K. Gordon version; it reminds us just how good Boccaccio is." THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
