Stevenson, Kay.

Title
The Endings of Chaucer's 'House of Fame'

Published
English Studies 59 (1978): 10-26.

Description
Since in his most carefully completed poems Chaucer avoids or undercuts any full thematic resolution, it is unlikely that the missing conclusion of HF would explain away the dynamic tensions of the poem. Probably the most inconsequential of the conclusions suggested (such as a message of topical or social tidings) would be the most appropriate.
