Language and the Declining World in Chaucer, Dante, and Jean de Meun by John M. Fyler

Language and the Declining World in Chaucer, Dante, and Jean de Meun (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature) by John M. Fyler

Medieval commentaries on the origin and history of language used biblical history, from Creation to the Tower of Babel, as their starting-point, and described the progressive impairment of an originally perfect language. Biblical and classical sources raised questions for both medieval poets and commentators about the nature of language, its participation in the Fall, and its possible redemption.
