- Description
- The Prioress's French of "Stratford atte Bowe" (as opposed to the French of Paris) has drawn considerable speculation, but it can be examined more effectively in light of "a wider background," including Chaucer's characterization of Madame Eglantine, the role of monasteries and convents in late fourteenth-century England, and the multilingual aspects of fourteenth-entury English society.
