| | Cotroneo. The Book of the Duchess: An Elegy for the Living? |
| | According to this general criterion, Chaucer's The Book of the Duchess may stake a claim to this genre of literature. | | | Chaucer, by availing himself of this liberty, lends credence to the theory that he did not write The Book of the Duchess with the sole intention of fulfilling a commission for his benefactor. | | | It would seem fitting and natural that Chaucer commemorate the Duchess, as a measure of consolation to his powerful patron. |

| | The event depicted in the Book of the Duchess is not really political, though it touches the life of a man who is important politically. | | | This is true both for the general case of historical content in the Book of the Duchess, and also specifically for those details that construct the narrator's relationship to the Black Knight as a poet-patron relationship. | | | Jean de Berry, who was the purchaser of one of Machaut's de luxe manuscripts of complete works, is represented within the Fonteinne amoureuse in much the same way that John of Gaunt is represented in the Book of the Duchess. |

| | "The Historical Setting of Chaucer's Book of the Duchess", by D.W. Robertson, Jr. |
| | Criticism Of Chaucer's Book of the Duchess, the first major work of a young man who was to become England's most famous poet, has sometimes neglected not only the immediate historical setting of the poem and the most probable circumstances of its first publication, but also the mores of its audience. | | | In his book, he is presented as a man divided into two parts: first, as a man cast down by "passions sensibles," and second, as a man divinely raised up to intelligible goods. | | | That is, the figure "Boethius" in the book is the man cast down, while the other reasonable part of him is represented by Philosophy. |

| | Last, the Book of the Duchess may more suitably be retitled asThe Dreame of Chaucer, as Francis Thynne titles it. | | | Every student of Chaucer repeats the truism that The Book of the Duchess (BD) is an elegy for Blanche, the Duchess of Lancaster, who died of the plague in 1368/69. | | | Fourth, the traditional death-date of Chaucer as well as the dates for the final versions of the Canterbury Tales should be in the early 1400s--there seem to be too many allusions to Henry IV in the General Prologue and in the Knight's Tale. |
