Author / Editor
Delany, Sheila.

Title
Phantom and the "House of Fame."

Published
Chaucer Review 2.2 (1967): 67-74.

Description
Explores various denotations in medieval uses of "phantom," and contends that Chaucer's use of the word in HF (line 493) capitalizes on these meanings and neatly encapsulates the poem's fundamental concern with the difficulties of seeking to recognize and express "error and truth."
