Aspects of the Medieval World View: Excerpts from The Inferno and The Canterbury Tales .
This paper shall analyze two pieces of literature from the medieval period, with the intention of presenting a coherent worldview of that time. The first of these works is a selection from Dante's "Inferno". The second is from Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales". As both of these works are too massive to fully analyze in a brief paper, selections from each work will be addressed. 5 pgs. 4 f/c. 2b.
