- Description
- Far from being "entirely tropological" or imaginative, the descriptions of the Temple of Venus and the House of Fame and Rumor accurately reflect the forms and details of contemporary structures. As Clerk of the Works and perhaps an acquaintance of Henry Yevele, Chaucer would have had opportunity to observe fourteenth-century architecture.
