- Description
- Describes the rich Bohemian culture that Anne brought with her to England in 1381 and suggests various ways Chaucer may have been influenced by the connection with Bohemia. In the original version of LGWP, references to Anne indicate the extent to which she embodied for Chaucer the ideal of a wife as mediatrix, also a motif in Mel.
