Geoffroi Chaucier, poete francais, Father of English Poetry
- Published
- Chaucer Review 13 (1978): 93-115.
- Description
- In his apprentice years as a poet Chaucer must have spoken and written in French, the language of the court; hence he was commissioned to write BD on the reputation of this (now lost) French poetry. Possibly the memorial was written in English for a small household gathering after the mass.
