Title
Chaucer Reading Langland: The House of Fame'

Published
Studies in the Age of Chaucer 18 (1996): 3-23.

Description
HF recalls "Piers Plowman" in its vocabulary, its apocalyptic pursuit of truth and authority, its dream-vision genre, its signature passages, and its unfinished state. Both poems manipulate conventions and challenge readers' presuppositions in ways that make it likely that Chaucer knew a version of Langland's work.
