Chaucer and the 'Breton' Lay
- Published
- Chaucer Review 12 (1977): 74-77.
- Description
- Establishes that the "Breton" lay is a British lay composed by ancient Britons, not by minstrels of Brittany. The MED gives a British origin for most of its citations of "Britoun" and "Britaine." The validity of the sources for the other citations is debatable.
