Title
Pages from History: The Medieval Palace at Westminster as a Source for the Dreamer's Chamber in the 'Book of the Duchess'

Published
Chaucer Review 27 (1992): 111-25.

Description
The inspiration for the text of the painted chamber with its "text and gloss" in BD was St. Stephen's chapel with its lavishly painted walls. Previous efforts to correlate Chaucer's text with particular illuminated manuscripts have been futile.
