It was more interesting than Boethius, and I rather enjoyed the intricate allegory Alan had going on in this book, but I still found myself lagging while reading it. The World Classics edition I read had pretty awful footnotes - most indicated a text to refer to, which was of little help in the long run because I don't have most of the texts mentioned. I suppose this would be useful to someone looking to fully analyze the Anticlaudianus, but since I was only reading it as background to Gower's Confessio Amantis, this didn't pertain to me.
