- Review
- Kane focusses primarily on Langland and Chaucer, drawing most of his examples from their works. He mentions the "Confessio Amantis" as a "tour de force" poem about sin, describing it as a model of how a sustained renunciation of unrequited love in the form of an oral confession leads Amans to practical virtue.
