- Review
- "The Church of Love is the poetic 'religion' of which the deities are the pagan Venus and Cupid and the religious forms of those of the Christian Church. The study seeks to determine how the Church of Love and the love-deities were employed in Latin and French before Chaucer and Gower and to what extent they followed their predecessors." Study mostly on Chaucer, but includes discussion of Gower's CA. [RFY1981; rev. MA]
