Chaucer and the Legend of Good Women

By Robert Worth Frank Jr. and Robert Worth Frank Jr

Frank begins his analysis with a careful consideration of Chaucer's situation in 1386, the year he presumably began the Legend. It was, he suggests, a moment in his career propitious for change--change in subject and in art as well. The Legend reveals this change in the process of its accomplishment.
