Chaucerian scholarship has long been intrigued by the nature and
consequences of Chaucer's exposure to Italian culture during his
professional visits to Italy in the 1370s. In the eight chapters of
Chaucer and Italian Culture, leading scholars take a new and more
holistic view of Chaucer's engagement with Italian cultural
practice, moving beyond the traditional 'sources and analogues'
approach to reveal the varied strands of Italian literature, art,
politics and intellectual life that permeate Chaucer's work. Each
chapter examines, from a different angle, links between Chaucerian
texts and Italian intellectual models, including poetics,
chorography, visual art, classicism, diplomacy and prophecy. Echoes
of Petrarch, Dante and Boccaccio reverberate throughout the book,
across a rich and diverse landscape of Italian cultural legacies.
Taken together, these eight chapters cover a wide range of theory
and reference, while sharing a united understanding of the rich
impact of Italian culture on Chaucer's narrative art.
