Chaucer on Love, Knowledge, and Sight

Boydell & Brewer (1995)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The author argues that Chaucer is unorthodox in exploiting the possibilities for using sight both to express emotional experience and to accentuate rationality at the same time. The conventional opposition of love and knowledge in the phenomenon of love at first sight gives way in Chaucer's development of love, knowledge, and sight to a symbiosis in his love poetry.
