Adducing "the medieval practice of time-keeping," development of the mechanical striking clock, and several details of BD, argues that the clock near the end of the poem (line 1322) strikes noon (not midnight), occurs within the dream rather than awakening the narrator from his sleep, and signaled to the medieval mind "an end and a beginning" as well as other reverberations unfamiliar to modern readers.

Description An account of the resource Analyzes differences between MLT and its source in Nicholas Trevet's "Cronicles," with some attention to Chaucer's use of Gower's version in "Confessio Amantis." Shows that Chaucer streamlines quotidian details, adds rhetorical flourishes, and "humanized" his characters to some extent, while maintaining the main plot line of his sources. His changes, in effect, "lift [the story] into the realms of romance, remote in time and space," with touches of a "saint's life."
