- Description
- Glosses the image of the Friar's girth in GP 1.263 as "rounded as a bell out of a 'mould,'" and suggests that it may derive from Chaucer's first-hand familiarity with bell-casting located near his residence at Aldgate, documenting that "bell-founders were his neighbors" and explaining the process of making bells.
