Title: Sources and Analogues: the “Invocacio ad Mariam” in Chaucer’s “The Second Nun’s Prologue”
Authors: Castro, Enrico
Issue Date: 2018
Document Type: Article
Abstract: All’interno del Second Nun’s Prologue nei Canterbury Tales di Geoffrey Chaucer, troviamo l’Invocacio ad Mariam, i cui versi 36-74 sono ricchi di allusioni ad altri scritti. In questo articolo investigheremo diversi passaggi tratti da diverse fonti, delle quali il più importante è il Paradiso dantesco. Anche l’influenza degli inni latini deve essere apprezzata, sebbene il parallelismo con Dante possa lasciarla nell’ombra.
Verses 36-74 of the Invocatio ad Mariam, in the Second Nun’s Prologue of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, strongly reference other literary sources. This paper examines the most important textual parallels, particularly the Paradiso written by Dante. A further focus is also the reference to the Latin hymns, although the influence of the Commedia can overshadow their role.
