The author explores the central allegory of the Orders of the Flower and Leaf, examining the symbolism of their white and green costumes, and analyzing the significance of the natural elements like the nightingale and goldfinch, the cult of the daisy, and the choice of specific trees. This book delves into the broader literary landscape of medieval vision poems, examining the influence of the springtime setting, contrasting orders of chivalry, and the role of nature in the allegorical framework.
