- Published
- Chaucer Review 21 (1986): 53-57.
- Description
- Though evidence is inconclusive, it seems likely that Chaucer's Friar was named for Saint Hubert, whose legend and confusion with Saint Eustace give characteristic resonances to the name and its bearer, particularly in his relationship with the Monk and other pilgrims.
