Using evidence from the Latin mythographers, it addresses several much-debated critical issues in medieval scholarship: questions of narrative voice, thematic unity, and purpose. Its principal contribution is to the discussion and evaluation of the French and Italian poems of love to which Chaucer was most heavily indebted. The author suggests that the love poems of Boccaccio, Machaut, and Froissart, rather than being ponderous didactic productions designed to instruct medieval audiences in the art of love, are true progeny of the\u003ci\u003e Roman de la Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, complex\u003ci\u003e jeux d'esprit\u003c\/i\u003e much closer in spirit and intention to the works of Chaucer than has been supposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKatherine Heinrichs is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 278\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 15, 1990\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42107924938832,"sku":"9780271028262","price":69.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/NlU2Wk9TejBTdU1BK2RJZVVCbVFlQT09.webp?v=1772409641","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-myths-of-love-classical-lovers-in-medieval-literature-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
