Was Chaucer Educated at the Inns of Court?
- Published
- Chaucer Review 22 (1988): 255-68.
- Description
- By establishing a truer picture of the fourteenth-century Inns of Court, we can see the improbability of Chaucer's having been educated there. First, Chaucer's education at the Inns of Court is questionable. Second, the fourteenth-century Inns of Court probably provided lodging, not legal training.
