'The Kingis Quair' and 'The Consolation of Philosophy'
- Published
- Studies in Scottish Literature 16 (1981): 14-28.
- Description
- "The Kingis Quair" has been interpreted as autobiographical and Boethian. If, however, James I understood Boethius as Chaucer did, both interpretations are incorrect. James discredits his narrator persona by using the Chaucerian Boethius as a standard that he cannot attain.
