The 'Legend of Good Women'

Published
Beryl Rowland, ed. Companion to Chaucer Studies (New York: Oxford University Press, 1979), pp. 464-76.

Description
In this century discussions of LGW have centered on two points: the historical occasion of the poem and its significance as a stage in Chaucer's artistic development. Not until the last decade has criticism concerned itself with the artistry of the legends themselves and not just with the Prologue.
Added to the first (1968) edition, replacing Fox's "Chaucer's Influence on Fifteenth-Century Poetry."
