Geoffrey of Monmouth and Chaucer's 'Legend of Good Women'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 22 (1987): 170-75.
- Description
- Chaucer's line "Betynge with his heles on the grounde" (LGW 863) echoes Geoffrey's description of Frollo's death ("Historia regum Britanniae" 9.9) and in turn suggests that Chaucer viewed Geoffrey's work with skepticism.
