摘　　要：乔叟好友约翰·克兰沃所作《丘比特之书》短小精悍,全诗仅290行,却是一首结构完整的爱情梦幻诗,在清晰的梦前序曲-梦境-梦醒框架下,通过布谷鸟和夜莺的辩论探讨了乔叟派梦幻诗的重要主题——爱情。克兰沃娴熟地运用乔叟式梦幻诗框架,通过梦幻诗梦前序曲和梦境内容之间的交织、暗示与矛盾,通过对叙事者的塑造,赋予一场看似一边倒的爱情辩论微妙的复杂性,于不露声色间呈现了克兰沃对于宫廷爱情的思考。作为乔叟的同龄人和乔叟之后首先创作爱情梦幻诗的第一人,克兰沃并未因为其诗作《丘比特之书》得到后世足够的认可,但他在这首诗中对梦幻叙事手法的深刻理解、领悟和应用却无疑深得乔叟梦幻诗的精髓,是乔叟对当时英语诗歌积极影响的优秀案例。Tbe Boke of Cupide,created by John Clanvowe,one of Chaucer's friends,is a typical medieval love dream poem.Within its short space of 290 lines,it deals with love,the most important theme of Chaucerian dreams,along a clear-cut narrative line of dream prologue to dream and finally to waking up.Clanvowe borrows from Chaucer his manipulation of the dream framework and his presentation of an unreliable narrator and renders his discussion of courtly love full of ironic tension and subtle contradiction in spite of the apparent support of Love from the nightingale and the narrator.As the poet in Chaucer's own circle who writes the first love dream after Chaucer,Clanvowe has not received enough recognition from later Chaucerians for Tbe Boke of Cupide,but it undoubtedly demonstrates his appreciative understanding of Chaucer's dream poetry and masterly employment of Chaucer's narrative skills and serves as a brilliant showcase for Chaucer's influence upon contemporary poetry.
